Customer or Supplier Balance Mismatch

Investigate why a customer or supplier balance looks different from your expected ledger total.

Step-by-step guide

  1. 1

    Open the ledger

    Open the customer or supplier profile and review the ledger or transaction history. Check the running balance across invoices, purchases, payments, returns, and notes.

  2. 2

    Check date filters

    Make sure you are not viewing a filtered date range when comparing full balances. A statement for one month may not match the total lifetime balance.

  3. 3

    Review opening balance

    If the party had a balance before using Khata Tracker, check whether opening balance was entered correctly and in the right direction.

  4. 4

    Find missing or duplicate entries

    Look for payments, invoices, purchases, returns, credit notes, or debit notes that are missing, duplicated, or entered under the wrong customer or supplier.

  5. 5

    Correct from the related entry

    Correct the original transaction if editing is available. If the mismatch remains unclear, export the ledger and contact support with details.

Pro Tips

  • Use consistent party names to avoid duplicate customer or supplier profiles.
  • Record payments against the correct party immediately.
  • Share ledger statements before month-end reconciliation.
