Payment period analysis

The Payment period statistic shows how long your customers take to pay. For each customer it works out the average number of days between the invoice and the date the money actually arrived, so you can see who settles quickly and who runs late.

Open the analysis

Go to Statistics → Payment period. Vinosoft looks at your paid invoices that have a recorded payment date, groups them by customer, and shows one row per customer with their average days to pay.

What the columns mean

• Customer — the customer address the invoices belong to. Only customers who have at least one matching paid invoice appear in the list.
• Days — the average number of days between the invoice and its payment, across all of that customer's paid invoices in the selected period. The count starts from the invoice date (falling back to the order date, then the creation date if no invoice date is set) and ends on the payment date.

Filter the list

Use the filter row at the top, then click Apply to reload the grid:

• Year — pick a booking year to limit the analysis to invoices paid within that year. It defaults to the current year.
• Customer — restrict the analysis to a single customer. The picker is searchable — start typing a name to find one. Leave it empty to include every customer.

Sort, arrange and export

• Click a column header to sort — for example, sort by Days descending to bring your slowest payers to the top.
• Use the Columns button in the toolbar to show or hide columns; you can also drag headers to reorder them and drag their edges to resize. Your layout is remembered on this device.
• The Excel and PDF buttons export the full filtered list, not just the page you're viewing.
