Billing statement

This is a billing statement that carries a customer's account from the opening balance to the closing balance. The balance brought forward plus the invoices issued this period is what the account stood at before payments; payments received and credit notes issued come off it; the closing balance is what is now due; the change in the balance and the share of the account settled are shown beside it so the trend is visible. Every figure is yours; the statement publishes no payment term and no late fee. Free, on the page, no account; the paid plan sends every statement to the customer under your name.

Opening balance plus invoices is the account before payments

A statement starts where the last one ended: the balance brought forward, plus every invoice issued in the period, is the total the customer was liable for before anything was paid. The statement shows it on its own so a customer disputing the closing figure can see the two parts it came from.

Payments and credits off, the closing balance now due

Payments received in the period and credit notes issued in it come off the account, and what remains is the closing balance now due, the figure the customer pays and the one the next statement opens with. Shown as the largest figure, it is the statement's answer; the paid plan sends it and the reminder when it is not settled.

The movement and the share settled, so the trend is visible

Invoices less payments and credits is the change in the balance this period, up or down, and payments over the account before payments is the share the customer settled. A balance that rises three months running is a customer to call before the fourth. The paid plan keeps every statement against the customer so the run is a column.
