PO - Remaining Balance Based on Invoiced Amounts
Update the Remaining Balance column in purchase orders to reflect the amount still to be invoiced.
Current calculation:
Remaining Balance = PO Total − Amount Paid
Proposed calculation:
Remaining Balance = PO Total − Amount Invoiced
The Vendor Accounts Payable column would continue to show invoiced amounts that remain unpaid. This would clearly distinguish outstanding invoices from amounts not yet invoiced.
Example: $100,000 PO
Invoices received: $60,000
Amount paid: $40,000
Vendor Accounts Payable: $20,000
Remaining Balance: $40,000
This would show $40,000 still to be invoiced + $20,000 in unpaid invoices = $60,000 in remaining commitments.
With the current calculation, adding these columns produces $80,000, double-counting the $20,000 in unpaid invoices.
This change would provide a more accurate view of outstanding financial commitments.
