Partial Payment on X Reading Report

This section on the article explains how to read a partial payment on a report. In this example, a customer has $1500 outstanding payment in the bill but was only able to make a partial payment on the day the bill was created.

Generate an X reading report and the bill report will show up. The customer paid $500 out of $1500 on the first day so $500 shows up in Partially Paid Sales. After paying, there is still $1000 outstanding payment so this shows up in Unpaid Sales.
The full payment was not paid this day and the bill cannot be closed so there is no Net Sales, showing 0.00.

As mentioned above, the customer paid $500 on his first payment using cash so it shows $500 here as Cash in the description.

Moving onto the second date on 14th Dec 2022, the customer paid another $500 to the outstanding bill so this shows up in Partially Paid Sales.
Now there is $500 left to pay only and this shows up in Unpaid Sales on 13th Dec 2022 instead of 14th Dec 2022, because the bill was first created on 13th Dec 2022.
There is also no Net Sales again, because the customer did not make the full payment yet.

As mentioned above, the customer made a second payment but with cash again so it shows $500 here as Cash in the description.

The customer finally paid in full on 15th Dec 2022. This means the bill can be closed, showing $1500 of the bill in Net Sales.
Since he also paid $500 on 13th and 14th Dec 2022 so it shows up as -$1000 in Previously Paid Sales. This means the customer no longer owes us this amount.
To know how much you should receive for the last payment on 15th Dec 2022, simply take Net Sales + Previously Paid Sales.
In this case, you should receive $500 for the last payment.

Net Sales + Previously Paid Sales = $1500 + (-$1000) = $500

It shows here how much you should receive for your last payment as mentioned in the previous paragraph. The customer paid $500 in cash again.
