What it is
Age Analysis tells you what is overdue and Remittance helps you pay it. Purchases Reports covers everything around that: who you buy from, what the money goes on, how that spend is trending, what you have committed to that has not arrived yet, and what has to be paid in the coming weeks. Find it under Purchases, in Reports — By Supplier, By Category, Spend Trend, On Order and Bills Due are each their own screen.
By supplier
Each supplier with the bills you captured from them, what you have paid out to them, and what is still owed. Their payment terms show underneath the name so you can see who expects what.
By category
Every SARS category you have used, with the total, the number of entries and the share of your spend. This is the deduction schedule an accountant works from — Profit & Loss shows the top eight categories for a period, this shows all of them.
On order
Purchase orders you have raised that have not been billed yet — money you have committed to that is not on your books. Each shows how long ago it was ordered, when you asked for delivery, and what it is worth including VAT.
An order drops off this list as soon as you capture a supplier invoice against it, so what remains is genuinely still outstanding. Anything past the delivery date you asked for is marked, which makes it the list to chase from.
Bills due
Everything still owed, grouped by when it falls due: overdue, within 7 days, within 30 days, later, and anything with no due date on it. The total at the top is what you owe altogether.
