Cash, dues & payables

Same database as Cashbook. Single-entry — not a full ledger.

What is Invoices, Receivables & Payables?

Issue sales invoices and record supplier bills in the same fst-finance database as Cashbook. Line items, optional discount and a tax label live on the invoice. Cash rises only when you record a collection — issuing paper does not mint money. A later receipt is posted as a receipt, not a second income line. Unpaid supplier bills are not automatic cash expenses or COGS. This is still single-entry, not a statutory e-invoicing network.

How it works

  1. Add customers and suppliers, then issue an invoice with line items, optional discount and tax label.
  2. Collect cash or bank payments against the invoice; dues fall without inventing new revenue.
  3. Record supplier bills and partial payments; unpaid bills are not cash expenses or automatic COGS.
