Receivables History

What you were owed on any date, and how it has changed

QuickBooks shows what you are owed today, but once an invoice is paid it drops out of its open-invoice reports, so you can't look back and see what was owed last month. The Receivables tab on the Reports page keeps that history for you.

How the history is kept

Every Friday at 5:00 PM, in your company's timezone, Service Envoy writes down everything you are owed at that moment and keeps it as a snapshot.

Need a figure today? Choose Take snapshot now. Taking another one the same day replaces the earlier one, and the Friday 5:00 PM snapshot replaces one taken by hand earlier that day.

See what you were owed on a date

Pick a date under As of. You see the snapshot taken on that date, or the latest one before it, with:

Track receivables over time

Total owed to you over time charts every snapshot in the range you choose: Last Month, Last 90 days, This Quarter, Last Quarter, Year to date, This Year, Last Year or All time, or pick your own From and To dates. Hover a point to see that Friday's total.

Who can see it

Anyone who can view payments (the same people who can open Receive Payments).

History starts with your first snapshot; earlier dates show nothing.
