Overview

Stay on top of outstanding payments and improve cash flow by turning overdue invoices into immediate action, all in one place. This section explains how to access your dashboard summary of overdue invoices and how to use the predefined saved searches that MobiWork has prepared for this purpose.

After locating the specific overdue invoice, MobiWork allows you to reach out to customers directly by sending emails or text messages from within the system; thus, quickly turning missed invoices to prompt payments.

Overdue Invoices Dashboard

To access the "Invoice - Overdue and Upcoming" dashboard panel, navigate to your MobiWork dashboard page.

On this page, click on the "Dashboard Panel" drop-down and select the "Invoice - Overdue and Upcoming" dashboard panel; the page will then refresh with the updated information:


With the "Invoice - Overdue and Upcoming" dashboard panel, you can quickly glean the date range of your overdue invoices:


The dashboard panel will display:

  • All Invoices Overdue- Will display all invoices that are currently overdue regardless of the invoice date.

  • Invoices Overdue (31 to 60 days)- This column will display invoices that are overdue from the last 31 to 60 days.

  • Invoices Overdue (more than 61 days)- Invoices that are overdue more than 61 days will be displayed here.

  • Invoices Due Today- Will display invoices with an invoice date that is due today.

  • Invoices Due in the Next 7 Days- Displays invoices that are due in the next seven days.

The "Invoice - Overdue and Upcoming" dashboard uses the data from the "Invoice Date" field to populate the designated kanban columns.

Note: Please note, that in order for the invoice to appear on the dashboard the invoice status must be set to "Customer Invoiced." If the invoice status is not set accordingly, then the invoice will not appear in the "Invoice - Overdue and Upcoming" dashboard panel.

Clicking the View icon will redirect you to the Invoice List page with the appropriate predefined saved search applied. For example, selecting the "All Overdue Invoices" dashboard will open the Invoice List page filtered to display all overdue invoices:

Overdue Invoices Saved Search

On the Invoices List page you will be able to quickly access and view your overdue invoices from the saved search drop-down menu:


By selecting a predefined search, the Invoices List page will display invoices that match the selected criteria; for example, choosing the "Overdue Today" saved search will show all invoices with an "Invoice Date" set to the current day.

Like the "Invoice - Overdue and Upcoming" dashboard panel, there are several categories to choose from that will allow you to quickly access a specified overdue invoice within the selected date range.

You will be able to select from the following predefined saved search options:

  • Overdue- Displays all overdue invoices.

  • Overdue Today- Displays all overdue invoices with an invoice date that is due today.

  • Overdue Next 7 Days Displays invoices that are due in the next seven days.

  • Overdue Last 30 Days- This search displays invoices that were due in the last 30 days.

  • Overdue Last 31 Days to 60 Days- This search will display invoices that are overdue from the last 31 to 60 days.

  • Overdue Last 61 and Before- Invoices that are overdue more than 61 days will be displayed here.

The saved searches use data from the "Invoice Date" field to populate the search parameters.

Note: Please note, that in order for the invoice to appear in the specified saved searches, the invoice status must be set to "Customer Invoiced." If the invoice status is not set accordingly, then the invoice will not appear in the saved searches.

Overdue Invoices Actions

Overview
