Know who owes you what
Selling on credit is normal. The problem is not the credit — it is losing track of who still owes you, and since when. Hisabche works each customer's balance out from your invoices, so there is no separate ledger to keep. To be clear: this page is about the credit you extend to your own customers — not bank loans or formal instalment finance.
Where the balance comes from
Any sales invoice that has not been settled in full leaves a remainder — the invoice total minus what you have actually collected — and that sits against the customer. Nothing to add up by hand. One thing paper ledgers routinely get wrong: purchase invoices never enter this figure. What customers owe you and what you owe suppliers are two separate columns, and Hisabche keeps them that way.
Partial payments, not all-or-nothing
A customer owes 100 and hands you 50. You record the 50 against the invoice; it stays part-paid and the rest still shows in your receivables. Same as crossing out and rewriting a figure in a notebook, except the history survives.
What you are owed, at a glance
The dashboard shows total receivables next to sales and stock value. It is the number most shop owners never actually know — and usually the one that explains why sales look healthy while the till is empty.
When the connection drops
Recording a payment or writing an invoice does not depend on the internet. You keep working offline and changes sync themselves once the network is back.
If you deal in more than one currency
Each invoice is recorded in its own currency — AFN, USD, PKR or IRR — and you can filter the invoice list by currency. One thing to know: the dashboard’s total receivables figure currently adds every invoice together without converting between currencies, so if you genuinely trade in more than one, check the invoice list for that currency to get an accurate figure.
Common questions
- Do I need a special invoice type for credit sales?
- No. Record the normal sales invoice and enter a received amount lower than the total. The remainder becomes the outstanding balance automatically.
- What if a customer pays in several instalments?
- Record each payment separately. The balance drops each time until the invoice is settled.
- Does this also show what I owe suppliers?
- As a separate figure, yes. Receivables and payables are deliberately not netted against each other, because they are two different things.
- What happens to my records if I lose my phone?
- Your data syncs to your account, so you sign in on another device and the balances are still there.
