A structured way to **track overdue client invoices and follow-up steps** is to list every overdue invoice by days late, define standard steps — reminder, call, partner contact, payment agreement — and record each action and client response until the invoice is paid.

In **Jestor**, overdue invoices move through a collection **Kanban**, while invoicing and payment records stay in the **ERP**.

## Why do overdue invoices pile up?

Professional firms are often uncomfortable chasing clients. Follow-up happens irregularly.

Invoices become months old, and the chance of payment drops.

Partners do not know which clients owe what.

## What problems does overdue tracking solve?

- Irregular or forgotten follow-ups
- Old invoices never collected
- No escalation rules
- Partners unaware of client debts
- Agreements not recorded

## How do I track overdue invoices in Jestor?

1. **Sync invoice data** from **Omie** or **Conta Azul**.
2. **Group overdue invoices** by days late.
3. **Define follow-up steps** with owners for each range.
4. **Send reminders** through **WhatsApp** or email.
5. **Record agreements** and new due dates.

| Days overdue | Follow-up step                      |
| ------------ | ----------------------------------- |
| 1 to 15      | Friendly reminder                   |
| 16 to 30     | Phone call                          |
| 31 to 60     | Partner contact                     |
| Above 60     | Payment agreement or service review |

## How do I keep collection professional?

Standard messages with clear information about the invoice and payment options keep the tone polite.

Recording every contact avoids repeated or contradictory messages.

## What else helps you track overdue client invoices and follow-up steps?
