Feature · Open items

Always know who still owes you and who you still owe.

See due dates, overdue days, and remaining amounts at a glance; confirm matching payments deliberately in banking.

An everyday example

Track a partial payment and the remaining balance

A customer invoice for €1,190 is outstanding. The customer initially transfers €700. For your next follow-up, you need the remaining amount and original due date, not just a payment appearing in your bank account.

  1. Find the open invoice

    Open items show customer and supplier invoices with due dates and outstanding amounts. Open the relevant transaction to review the invoice and accounting entry together.

  2. Allocate the partial payment

    Match the €700 payment to the correct invoice in Banking. Check the business partner and reference so a similar payment does not accidentally settle the wrong item.

  3. Follow the remaining balance

    After the partial payment, €490 remains outstanding. You can see what is still missing and whether it is overdue. When the remainder arrives, allocate it to the existing transaction too.

This supports follow-up and liquidity planning: work with the amount that remains unpaid, while retaining the context of the payment already received.

    Due date, overdue days, and remaining amount are immediately visible.

  • Ranked suggestions in banking

    Matching payments are ranked and assigned only after your confirmation.
