Customer or Supplier Balance Mismatch
Investigate why a customer or supplier balance looks different from your expected ledger total.
Step-by-step guide
- 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
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
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
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
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.
