Client Credit Balance Report
The client credit balances report is a useful tool for managing client credit and outstanding debt. This report provides a list of clients that have credit available, along with their basic information and the amount of credit they have.
Accessing the Report
To access the client credit balances report, navigate to the Reports menu, Financial section and select "Client Credit Balances" from the list of available reports.
Report Details
The report displays current credit balances only and cannot calculate these values for a past date. This means that the report is most useful for managing current credit and debt, rather than historical data.
The credit available may have been created from overpayment or credit notes. To track the origin of the credit, you can use the credit tracking modal by clicking on the information icon. This modal allows you to preview any credit notes and open the sale related to the payment.
The report can be sorted by credit balance and can also be exported to a CSV file for further analysis.
What is a CSV file?
CSV is a widely compatible data file format which can be opened directly in Excel
Filters
The client credit balances report offers filters for client name and client alerts. These filters can help you narrow down the list of clients and focus on specific groups or individuals.
Using the Report
The client credit balances report is a useful tool for determining the total outstanding client debt when combined with the Accounts Receivable report. By exporting and analyzing both reports, you can get a comprehensive view of your clients' credit and debt.
📌We recommend exporting these reports at the beginning or end of the month, based on the recommendation of your accountant. This will ensure that you have past balances available when needed.
Conclusion
The client credit balances report is an essential tool for managing client credit and debt. By regularly reviewing this report and combining it with the Accounts Receivable report, you can stay on top of your clients' financial status and make informed decisions for your business.
