Large sales totals do not guarantee enough cash to pay suppliers. A wholesaler needs to know which customer owes what, which invoices remain unresolved and which collections have actually arrived. A weekly review connects the ledger with an actionable follow-up list.
Verify opening party balances
Before importing or entering old dues, compare the figure with the previous ledger and available invoices. Keep customer receivables separate from supplier payables. A customer who is also a supplier needs a deliberate reconciliation; do not offset the two informally without agreement and a clear record.
Work through a part-payment example
A retailer has ₹10,000 in opening dues and receives a new ₹24,000 invoice. A confirmed collection of ₹15,000 leaves ₹19,000 outstanding: ₹10,000 + ₹24,000 − ₹15,000. Agree how the collection is allocated against older invoices in your review worksheet. The customer ledger total and invoice-level explanation should tell the same story.
Make a weekly follow-up worksheet
List customer, invoice reference, invoice date, agreed due date, outstanding amount, last contact and next action. Group overdue amounts by days past the agreed due date in your worksheet. This is a manual review method, not a claim that DAM automatically provides every ageing bucket or collection task.
Investigate disputed amounts first
A short supply, return or unrecorded payment can make a reminder ineffective. Check the disputed document before sending a demand. Record an agreed correction through the appropriate supported workflow, then share an updated account statement. A polite message should reference the amount and bill rather than an unexplained aggregate demand.
Plan purchases from confirmed collections
Compare expected receipts with upcoming supplier commitments, but do not treat a promise to pay as money received. Use DAM’s sales, purchases and party payment records as the accounting base. Verify bank receipts separately and review the customer ledger before extending more credit. Your credit limits and approval policy remain business decisions.
Try the workflow with one account
Explore DAM for wholesale businesses and test one checked entry before moving your records. Compare the result with your existing register and ask support about the features your business needs.
