Customer Credit Limit

As a business owner, you might sell your goods/services on credit to your customers. This in turn, increases the risk of having huge amounts of overdue balances by customers. Zoho Invoice now lets you set a credit limit for each customer, thereby letting you have control over the outstanding receivable balances. So, apart from just sending payment reminders for overdue invoices, enabling this will help you to avoid many outstanding invoices.

You will also be able to view the customer’s credit limit in the Customer Balances Report.

Enabling Customer Credit Limit

To set credit limits, you will first have to enable the feature from your preferences. To do this:

Enable

Setting Credit Limits for Customers

Customer Credit Limit Workflow

Once you enable the option and set the credit limit, you will be able to keep track of the limits set and further invoices being created. Based on your preferences, you will be notified while creating transactions.

Restrict Creating or Updating Invoices

If you have chosen to restrict creating and updating invoices, you will be warned when the invoice total and your balance due exceeds the credit limit.
