How to Track Payables and Receivables Together

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.
