The Orders and the Transactions tabs have an account filter which can be used to display the items which relate to the currently selected account (if the debtor contact is connected to multiple accounts that is).

There is also a search bar which allows you to filter the Orders & the Transactions lists by Order # or Transactions #.

In addition if you right click on any items under the orders tab and choose to generate a document which can then be e-mailed or printed, by default the link will use the e-mail address of the current contact record but you can override that when editing the e-mail message.
