How Do I Remove An Outstanding Balance?
An outstanding balance appears when a payment is missing or incomplete. Follow the steps below based on the type of item causing the balance.
If the client has already paid the amount:
-
Open the client’s profile.
-
Click on Receive Payment.
-
Record the payment to clear the outstanding balance.
If the outstanding balance is related to a package, you have two options:
Option A: Issue a Credit Note
-
Issue a credit note for the package.
-
This will offset the outstanding balance while keeping the record in the system.
Option B: Delete the Package
-
If you do not want the amount to appear at all in the Sales Report, you can delete the package.
-
When a package is deleted:
-
The associated invoice is automatically deleted as well.
-
⚠️ Use this option carefully, as it permanently removes the package and invoice records.
If the outstanding balance is caused by a POS item:
-
Return the item, or delete it.
-
Add the item again with a 100% discount.
This ensures:
-
The outstanding balance is cleared.
-
Stock levels remain accurate and are not affected incorrectly.
