Before you beginThis guide follows Accounting and Bookkeeping module version 1.4.5. The required access is Accounting Reports: View. A related screen can remain hidden when an optional module is inactive, a source record is in an ineligible status, the selected account is inactive or the user is not an assigned approver.

What this feature does

Review unpaid customer balances by age in summary and detailed invoice views. It forms part of Britixo Enterprise CRM's Accounting & Bookkeeping module and uses the module's permission-aware controller, status and mapping flow rather than a generic spreadsheet process.

How the module flow works

The module provides separate Accounts Receivable Ageing Summary and Detail endpoints. Ageing is driven by invoice and due dates and adjusted by payments and credits represented in Accounting.

The total should be reconciled with the accounts-receivable control account in General Ledger. Differences can indicate conversion, mapping or timing issues.

Operational invoice status and accounting conversion must both be reviewed.

Step-by-step workflow

  1. Run the Summary as of the review date.
  2. Identify overdue customers and unusual credit balances.
  3. Open Detail for each material balance.
  4. Compare invoice, payment and credit-note sources.
  5. Investigate unapplied credit or missing payment conversion.
  6. Follow credit-control procedure.
  7. Reconcile the total to the receivable control account.

What happens after completion

After the action is saved, Britixo keeps the Accounting record connected to its source and updates the visible status or ledger data supported by this workflow. Review the saved result rather than relying only on a success message. Where the action posts accounting data, total debits and credits must balance and the accounts must match the approved mapping or manual selection.

  • Open the saved record and confirm its final status.
  • Review the source reference and every debit and credit line where ledger data was created.
  • Use the relevant register, ageing, reconciliation or report to verify the wider effect.

Controls, checks and common mistakes

  • Use the same as-of date for ledger reconciliation.
  • Do not chase a customer for a payment already received but unconverted.
  • Review disputed and credit balances.
  • Protect customer financial data.
  • Use the least destructive correction available and record the reason for material changes.
  • Do not bypass a permission, approval or closed-period control by changing unrelated data.
Accounting and data safetyDeletion, reset, void, refund, mapping, journal and reconciliation actions can change financial history. Use approved access, retain supporting evidence and validate the result in the General Ledger or relevant control report.
