Payment history – Purchase

Payment history shows statistics describing the company’s ability to pay invoices on time. Payment history is displayed as a key performance index. It shows the difference between the planned payment time for invoices compared to the actual payment time. If the payment history value is 0 (zero) it indicates that the company (on average) pays the invoices exactly on time. A payment history value of 5 indicates that the company (on average) pays the invoices 5 days too late, that is, 5 days past the due date. A payment history value of -5 indicates that the company (on average) pays the invoices 5 days before the due date.

  • You can base the payment history on payments executed for a selected period of time which has passed.
  • The payment history is only based on invoices paid in full. Credit invoices are excluded.

  • Only invoices where the payments have been confirmed will be shown. That is, if the payment in question in an electronic payment, it is not enough to have sent the payment to the bank. It must also have been reported/confirmed as paid.

  • Payment history can be displayed as a trend where you can see the change of the payment history over time to all or to a specific supplier. (For example, payment history per month for the last year.)
  • You can manually adjust the payment history for specific invoices.

Per supplier

This list shows the payment history per supplier and it is possible to use the drilldown function. The list can be updated and you can change the payment history for separate invoices. That is, you can overwrite the calculated payment history with a value you enter as payment history. This can be useful if, for example, there is a late payment that you do not want to affect the payment history negatively, then you can enter a 0 as payment history for that specific invoice.

Per period

This list shows the total payment history per month/quarter/year and it is possible to use the drilldown function per supplier and payment.

Per number of employees

This list displays total payment history per company size, that is, per number of employees.
