Trust is the foundation of any business, and offering credit payment options to loyal customers is often a powerful strategy for maintaining strong relationships and boosting sales. In an accounting system, each of these accounts receivable will be recorded with its specific amount and days overdue.
However, without the proper controls, accumulating receivables can backfire and jeopardize the company’s cash flow. This is where implementing a Debt Maximum Overdue configuration becomes essential. This article will discuss how to set smart, automated limits to ensure your business continues to expand without sacrificing its financial health.

As you can see below, a customer named Mr. Ridho Warsono has one invoice that has already passed the maximum debt overdue limit of 3 days.

When entering the customer's name, an error pop-up appears (as shown in the screenshot below) indicating that the customer has an overdue invoice that has exceeded the limit. This means the customer must pay their debt first.
