Outstanding Invoices

The Outstanding Invoices page provides details on all invoices for the bill to party that have not yet been paid in full.  Invoices can be selected to view the specific details.  This page is similar to the standalone Invoices report, except this report is limited to the selected bill to party and is filtered by currency.

 

Select a Currency and click Search.  The Invoice List panel appears with the results.

 

Some columns have been hidden.

Click a link in the Invoice Number column to view the Invoice details window.  To make payments for invoices, see the Online Payment of Invoices section.  To use credit invoices to pay off debit invoices, see the Offset Invoices section.

 

Click Close to return to the Bill To Parties list.

The Offset Summary panel lists all selected invoices and the calculated allocations.

 

Invoices are allocated by due date, from the oldest to the newest.  The credit invoices are deducted from the debit invoices until the credit balance is depleted or all debit invoices are paid.  Final balances are displayed in the Remaining Outstanding Amount column.

 

6.   If the allocations are acceptable, click Confirm to complete the transaction, or click Close to close the window without performing the offset.

 

If the transaction is completed, the Invoice List is updated with the new balances on any remaining invoices.  The system generates and posts a receipt batch containing one zero-value receipt.  The receipt includes all invoice allocations from the offset transaction.
