Tutorial — Reviewing What You Owe (the Owed-Items List)

What This Tool Is For

How to read the list of unpaid items as a cash-planning instrument, not just a to-do list.

Step-by-Step Walkthrough

Step 1 — Open the unpaid view of your costs and sort by due date.

Step 2 — Read it as a forecast: items due in the next 7, 30, and 60 days are cash leaving on a schedule. Sum each bucket mentally (or on paper) — that's your near-term outflow commitment.

Step 3 — Distinguish the two kinds. Invoice-backed items are exact; estimated (no-invoice) items can still move a little. Treat the second group as "approximately this much".

Step 4 — Act on the outliers: anything overdue needs either payment or a conversation; any estimated item older than a month needs its invoice chased.

Real-World Example

Scenario: Before approving a $25,000 equipment purchase, the founder checks the owed-items list: $12,000 due in 9 days, $8,300 estimated for the cloud bill, $4,000 due in 24 days — about $24,300 committed within a month against a $60,000 balance. The purchase is fine, but she schedules it after the $12,000 settles, keeping the buffer comfortable. Two minutes of reading replaced a week of vague worry.

Tips & Common Mistakes

• Sort by due date, always — amount-sorting hides the urgent behind the large.
• The owed list plus the bank balance IS your short-term cash position; read them together.
• A growing overdue bucket is an early signal worth escalating, whatever the dashboard says.
