Frequently Asked Questions
How does aging work?
The template groups unpaid invoices by how many days past due they are. This helps prioritize collection efforts on the oldest outstanding amounts.
Can I track partial payments?
Yes. Enter the amount received and mark the status as partial. The remaining balance is the original amount minus payments received.
Does it show totals per client?
Yes. Filter or sort by client name to see each client total outstanding amount. The dashboard also shows total receivables across all clients.
When should I write off a receivable?
The template lets you mark items as written off. This is an accounting decision based on your business policies and how long the amount has been outstanding.
