A sale can be paid, partly paid, or unpaid. Payment is separate from stock.
The key idea
- When you record a sale, the stock leaves immediately.
- If the customer has not fully paid, the unpaid part becomes money they owe you (debt).
Where to see it
- The Customers page shows each customer's total bought, total paid and outstanding balance.
- The Debt report lists everyone who owes you, with the oldest debts first.
Example
A customer takes goods worth 10,000 and pays 6,000. The sale still deducts the stock, and 4,000 shows as their debt until they pay the balance.
