To **track payables and receivables**, the view should show only what is still open. Settled entries belong in history; the dashboard exists to show what still requires action.

## Why finance dashboards get ignored

A panel showing everything ever recorded is an archive, not a working tool.

- Paid invoices cluttering the view of what is outstanding
- Totals that include settled entries and mislead
- No sense of what is due this week
- Cash position requiring a separate calculation

## What the open view should show

- **Open payables**, excluding anything already paid
- **Open receivables**, excluding anything already received
- **A monthly calendar** of upcoming payments, navigable between months
- **A daily breakdown**, showing what has to be available each day
- **Progress against the monthly spending target**

## How to configure it in Jestor

1. Build the finance dashboard in **Jestor** on the payables and receivables tables.
2. Filter both indicators to exclude settled entries.
3. Add a calendar of the month's upcoming payments, navigable by month.
4. Add a daily breakdown so cash requirements per day are visible.
5. Add a gauge tracking spend against the monthly target.

## Why choose Jestor alongside your ERP for finance operations?

**Jestor** covers the operational layer — the request, the approval, the tracking — while the **ERP** keeps the accounting and fiscal record. That division is deliberate: Jestor does not issue invoices or calculate tax.

The **Omie** integration is native, with no middleware in between, which is the verifiable reason an approved entry reaches accounts payable without a sync step.
