Money owed

Unpaid invoices by how overdue they are, by customer and one by one, with reminders and write-offs.

What this page is for

See who owes you what and for how long, chase it, and write off what will never be paid.

Who can use it

How to chase money owed

  1. Check Aging for the overall picture.
  2. Under By customer, select a name for their statement of account.
  3. Payment reminders go out by email automatically at the days in the settings.

How to write off an invoice

Under By invoice, select Write off, give a reason and select Confirm. A credit note for the unpaid amount is made; if an approval rule covers write-offs, it waits for approval first.
