Money received, dues and advances

Record money on the day it actually reaches you, and link it to the income it pays for. Money received is never added as extra income.

When to use it

Whenever a driver or anyone else pays you for a vehicle — in full, in part, for old dues, or in advance.

Where to find it

  • + → Money received
  • Income entry → Record money received

What you need

  • Vehicle, amount and the date received.
  • Method: cash, bKash, Nagad, Rocket, bank or other. Driver or payer is optional.

Steps

  1. Tap + and choose “Money received”, or tap “Record money received” on an income entry.
  2. Enter the vehicle, amount, date received and method.
  3. Under “Apply to income”, enter how much goes to each unpaid income entry, or tap “Fill oldest first”. A running total shows applied and unapplied money.
  4. Any amount not applied must be kept as an advance: tick “Keep … as an advance”.
  5. Save. To use an advance later, edit that receipt and apply the money to income.

Examples

Example Part of the money received
Earned income
৳ 10,000
Money received
৳ 7,000
Still to collect
৳ 3,000

Income stays the same. The money received does not create new income.

Example More money than is due
Money received
৳ 12,000
Applied to income due
৳ 10,000
Advance held
৳ 2,000

The extra money is not income. It waits as an advance until you apply it.

All amounts are examples.

Result

The linked income shows less due. Dashboard and reports count the money in “money received” on its own date, and income is unchanged. Arrears paid next month raise next month’s money received, not its income.

Mistakes and exceptions

  • You cannot apply more than an entry’s remaining due, or more than the money received.
  • Money can only be applied to the same vehicle’s income.
  • Do not record a driver’s payment as new income — that would count the same money twice.

Correct or undo

  • Open the receipt and edit the amounts or the income it is applied to.
  • “Delete money received” removes the receipt and its links; those income entries show as due again.
