The Payment Ledger page shows who owes you (accounts receivable) and who you owe (accounts payable) - summary outstanding per customer and supplier, not a transaction list.
Open Accounting → Payment Ledger.
Accounts receivable
Lists each customer with their current outstanding balance (unpaid sales invoices minus receipts).
Click a customer to open Payment Ledger Entries filtered to that party.
Use this for:
- Collections follow-up
- Checking if a customer can book another trip on credit
- Reconciling before month-end
Accounts payable
Lists each supplier with outstanding payables (unpaid purchase invoices minus payments made).
Click a supplier to see their transaction history.
Use this for:
- Planning supplier payment runs
- Verifying what is due before bank transfers
How balances update
Outstanding changes when you:
- Submit a sales or purchase invoice (increases AR/AP)
- Submit a payment allocated to invoices (decreases AR/AP)
- Cancel a submitted document (reverses the effect)
Draft documents do not affect outstanding.
