complex payment procedure

Using my Dolibarr
1

Hello all,

I have rather simple needs but they all come down to monitoring what people owe me. a logistics centralised solution using dolibarr.

Now when I sell a service, most of the times, the invoice is not paid. They all stack up and being paid at the end of the month. There is a payment function for that in dolibarr and is named, “30 days (paid at the end of the month)”. That’s nice.

Using that, will I be able to see how much a customer owes me by the end of the month? Is it possible to see a grand total of all services paid? Also sometimes people don’t pay when they should. They have a lingering subtotal by paying a percentage of their actual due. Am I able to transfer that info? Like “yes it’s paid by the end of the month and he owes 200€ but he only paid 150€”. 50€ should be added in the debt of the customer and maybe paid next month. I want to know how that is possible.

Also -the more complex part of my logistics is that sometimes people who owe big amounts to me by the end of the month, they pay the sum directly to my supplier. By the end of the month I have to pay my supplier but he also has to pay the big amounts that my customers paid directly to him. we end up just settling the difference. I just wish to know how to calculate that and at the same time not have my customers display an ammount in due.

Thank you guys.

PS. I also want to know what type of payment is that 50-50 one appearing in the payment methods.

Hello , uh, well, the question is long but the answer is unfortunately very short at the time. It is not possible to transfer amounts owed by customers to amounts due to suppliers.
The system you talk about at the beginnig is like a a subscription or contract you sign with your customer ?

Well you see, it’s not exactly a subscription. However in my line of business when a customer’s due is over a specific amount, he has the right to pay directly to my supplier who then in turn funnels that to me. No money is lost in the transfer (like fees or taxes) but I receive the money from a different end. Usually I also owe a sum to my supplier and that difference is cleared at the end of each month. Since the amounts of each service on it’s own are rather small I have to keep track of the sum of hundreds of transactions from each customer and all will be cleared at the end of each month. I wished there was something automatic as there is no way of knowing beforehand if a customer will pay me directly or the supplier.
