A bill with no due date cannot be overdue, which is why the reminders never go out and the ageing report is empty.
Ageing, overdue alerts and automatic reminders all rest on one thing: bills having a date they were meant to be settled by. Filled in by hand, it gets skipped under pressure, and the whole collection apparatus quietly stops working.
Credit days on the party fix that at the source. Thirty days for one customer, seven for another, and every bill raised for them arrives with its own due date already set.
As you already do with each customer.
On the party, once.
Each bill carries its own due date.
Ageing, alerts and reminders all have something to work with.
The customer before and between the bills: the inquiry that came in, the lead someone is chasing, the appointment that was booked, and the credit you are prepared to extend. Everything attaches to a party, so a customer’s history is one thread rather than several.
This area earns its keep in the gaps — the follow-up nobody remembered, the appointment nobody confirmed, the limit nobody checked before billing.
Everything downstream of a due date.
Receivable ageing · Party-wise outstanding · Parties statements
Every feature, by plan →Yes — credit days are set per party.
The terms fill the date in; a particular bill can still be treated on its own merits.
Ageing, the daily overdue alert and automatic reminders all need them.
Without one, nothing is ever overdue and nobody is ever reminded.
