Collections (Payments In)

Collections record the physical receipt of money from customers, reducing the Customer's Balance Due.

Key Logic
  • Invoice Linking: Each collection entry should be linked to one or more Sales Invoices.
  • Payment Methods: Specify if the payment was Cash, Bank Transfer, or Cheque.
  • Status: Collections directly update the "Paid" status of linked invoices.

Payments (Payments Out)

Payments record the settlement of debt to your Suppliers, reducing Accounts Payable.

  • Bulk Payments: Record a single bank transfer covering multiple bills from the same vendor.
  • Vouchers: Generate and print Payment Vouchers for physical signatures and filing.
