Receivables and payments: who owes you and who you owe
Unpaid invoices are sorted by client and by days overdue. When a payment arrives from your bank statement or cash desk, you link it to the invoice and the balance updates.
- Aging report per client
- Receivables and payables
- Payments from bank and cash
Short video: in FreeMe you open Payments and the Aging report and see receivables and payables. The table lists clients by days overdue. You open one client and see their unpaid invoices. Then you link a bank statement line to the invoice as an exact match and the client balance drops. The data is sample data.
Aging buckets
Current, 1–30, 31–60, 61–90 and more days: you see where the problem is.
Both directions
Receivables from customers and payables to suppliers, in one report.
No retyping
They come from the bank statement and cash orders, not typed by hand.
Ask the AI
“How much do customers owe me?” and get an answer from the same data.
Receivables and payables: what it answers
The questions you already ask yourself at the end of every month.
From unpaid invoice to settled receivable
Four steps, and no manual entry of payments.
Issue the invoice
The unpaid invoice appears in the client’s Receivables.
Upload the statement
Under Payments you upload a bank statement (CSV). Cash payments are recorded with a New cash order.
Link the payment
In Match a statement line you pick the invoice, and exact matches are flagged. Press Link.
Watch the balance
The Aging report updates. Change “As of” to look at an earlier date.
You decide which payment goes to which invoice
It is built so that mistakes are hard to make.
A suggestion, not autopilot
When you review a statement the lines are grouped, and you approve or reject them before confirming.
No over-allocating
An amount larger than what is still open on the invoice is refused.
History is kept
A deactivated bank account or cash desk keeps its history.
Locked periods
In a locked period, a payment is not posted.
What it does and what it does not
