Pay In or Out Invoices

Depending on the type of receivable, you can mark your invoices as paid, either by having received the amount owed by the reseller or by having paid out the amount you owe to the reseller.
​

Positive Receivable

A positive receivable indicates the amount a reseller owes you. Once the reseller paid the invoice, you can indicate this transaction by selecting the appropriate invoice, and press the PAY IN button.
​


Select the payment method to indicate how the invoice was paid, add payment notes to keep a record of how the transaction was made and press the Create Transaction button.
​

Negative Receivable

A negative receivable indicates the amount you owe the reseller. Once you paid the amount, you can indicate this transaction by selecting the appropriate invoice, and press the PAY OUT button.
​

​

πŸ“— TIP

You can select 'Card Payment' if a credit card is paired with the supplier account in the Ventrata dashboard.

Select the payment method to indicate how the invoice was paid, add payment notes to keep a record of how the transaction was made and press the Create Transaction button.
