In general, if a customer has a billing issue, he or she will not be allowed to check in. The exception is when your organisation has selected to continue billing even though the customer has outstanding payments. Nevertheless, in all situations, the check-in status message will indicate that the customer has a billing issue and you should go to the customer's page to obtain more details.
On the customer's page, the billing issue message is displayed at the top of the page below the customer's name. Quick action links are provided for you to take the necessary action. See below for a description of the billing issues and the suggested steps to take.
