Customer Ledger and Outstanding Software

Money owed to you is the hardest thing to keep track of and the most expensive thing to get wrong. A diary works until you have forty parties and six months of part payments. QuickBillBook keeps a running ledger for every customer and vendor, built from the bills and receipts you already enter.

Why outstanding gets out of hand

Part payments break the record

A customer pays some of three bills, and reconstructing which bill is still open takes an hour.

No single balance figure

You know roughly who owes you, but not exactly how much, and not as of today.

Follow-up depends on memory

Nobody chases a payment they have forgotten about.

Disputes take days

The customer says they paid. Proving otherwise means going through a year of entries by hand.

What the ledger gives you

A running balance per party

Opening, every transaction, and closing balance for any date range.

Unpaid view

Filter straight to bills that are still open.

Full transaction history

Sales, receipts, purchases and payments in one continuous ledger.

T-format option

For anyone who prefers the traditional two-sided layout.

All-party report

Every outstanding balance in one list, so you know where to start chasing.

Excel export

Send a statement to the customer, or hand the lot to your accountant.

Tracking what you are owed

  1. 1

    Bill as normal — each invoice posts to the party ledger.

  2. 2

    Record receipts against the party when payment comes in.

  3. 3

    Open the ledger for any party and date range to see the balance.

  4. 4

    Use the unpaid filter to build your follow-up list.
