Customer ledger & collecting udhaar
Read a customer's running statement of bills and payments, see what they owe, and record collections against their outstanding udhaar.
Quick steps
- 1
Open the customer
Go to Customers and select the person to see their ledger.
- 2
Read the statement
Every credit bill and every payment is listed, with a running outstanding balance.
- 3

When they pay, add a receipt for the amount into the money account you received it in.
- 4
Balance updates
The outstanding due reduces immediately and the money posts to cash/UPI/bank.
The ledger is a customer's complete money history with your shop — a proper running khata. It replaces the paper diary and always shows the current due.
What's in the ledger
- Credit bills increase what they owe.
- Payments / receipts decrease it.
- An opening balance (if set) is the starting point.
- The running balance shows the live outstanding at every line.
Collecting a payment
When a customer pays some or all of their udhaar, record a receipt against them for the amount, choosing where the money went (cash, UPI, bank). Storeflea:
- reduces their outstanding balance, and
- posts the money to that account.
Part-payments are fine — pay ₹500 against a ₹2,000 due and ₹1,500 remains.
Sharing the statement
You can share a customer's statement so they can see exactly what's pending — no disputes about "how much is left".
Need to move a balance to a different person (family member, new proprietor)? Use Credit transfer.
