Money owed to you (receivables)
Who owes the shop, how long it's been outstanding, and collecting on khata balances.

Every khata sale — "take it now, pay Friday" — becomes a receivable. The Accounts receivable page answers two questions: who owes you, and how overdue it is.
Read the aging
Customers are bucketed by how old their balance is — current, 31–60, 61–90 days and beyond. A balance drifting right is one to chase before it ages further.
Collect a payment
- Open the customer's ledger — debits (what they bought on credit) vs credits (what they paid).
- When they pay, record it in Cashbook → New entry → Receive Customer: pick the customer, the cash account the money entered, the amount.
- Their receivable balance drops by the amount collected.
Keep it healthy
- Set credit limits on each customer (customers & credit) so balances can't grow silently.
- Watch the aging weekly — a 60-day balance rarely shrinks on its own.
- Returns against credit sales reduce what they owe automatically — don't also refund cash.
