How to track invoices in Excel?

DATA ENTRY

• Enter each invoice in the Invoice table beginning from row 15. (If you are new to Excel Tables, please read this article on data entry)
• Enter Invoice Number, Customer, Invoice Date, Due Date and Invoice Amount
• When Customer makes payment, enter it in Paid Amount column.
• Green colored columns have formulas. Do not edit.

Outstanding Amount: This is calculated as Invoice Amount – Paid Amount

Status: There are five possible values for Status.

• ‘ERROR”, when at least one of the fields Invoice Amount, Invoice Date, Due Date is left blank. Also, when Due Date < Invoice Date.
• PAID IN FULL: Outstanding Amount is 0
• CURRENT: If Outstanding Amount >0 and Due Date > Today (not due yet)
• DUE TODAY: If Outstanding Amount > 0 and Due Date = Today
• PAST DUE: If Outstanding Amount is 0 and Due Date = Today
• OVERPAID: If Outstanding Amount < 0 (i.e., Paid Amount is > Invoice Amount)

Note: Error rows are not used in calculation of metrics. 

Rows with errors will be highlighted with a red border for your assistance.

Past Due Age: If the Status is ‘Past Due’, then this represents the aging bucket (1 – 30 Days, 31 – 60 Days, 61 – 90 Days, 91+ Days). Otherwise, it will be blank.

Selected: This will display 1 if the record (or row) is not filtered by the slicers.

View Dashboard

The top of the Invoices sheet will present the summary in a dashboard as shown below. This will update instantly as you add more invoices to the table.

Let’s break it down in 3 sections.

Current Invoices:

Number of current (Due Date is in the future) invoices will be shown along with outstanding amount due.

Past Due Invoices:

Number of Past due (Due Date is in the Past ) invoices will be shown along with outstanding amount due.  Accounts Receivable (A/R) aging breakdown is also provided.

Expecting Payments:

Payments that are expected in the next 7 days (including today) and next 30 days (including today) will be displayed.

Slicers (Filters)

These metrics can be easily filtered using the 3 Slicers provided.

The invoice table will be filtered as well. One can use this feature to easily target selective invoices. For example, click on Status = Past Due, to see only invoices that are past due.
