One page that answers “so what do we owe you?”

A customer statement takes everything you've invoiced and everything they've paid, lays it out in date order with a running balance, and lands in their inbox as a clean, branded PDF — for whatever period you ask for.

Why it matters

Most payment disputes are really memory disputes.

“I already paid that.” “I never got that invoice.” “I thought we agreed a lower figure.” Chasing money is rarely about bad faith — it's about two parties holding different, incomplete pictures of the same account. The moment you can put a single, dated, running-balance ledger in front of a customer, the conversation changes from argument to arithmetic.

That's what a customer statement is for. It's not a new invoice and not a reminder letter — it's the whole story of an account, reconciled to a closing balance both sides can agree on.

What did we bill?

Every non-cancelled invoice in the period, on the date it was raised, as a debit that increases the balance.

What did they pay?

Every payment received in the period, on the date it landed, as a credit that reduces the balance.

What's left?

A running balance after each line, and a closing balance that says exactly what's outstanding right now.

Anatomy of a statement

Read it top to bottom.

Every statement is built the same way, so customers learn to read it once and never question the format again.

1

Your brand header

Your logo, name, email and phone sit at the top — the statement looks like it came from you, not from software.

2

Customer & period

Who the statement is for, and the exact window it covers — a From–To range, or “all activity” when you leave the dates open.

3

The four summary boxes

Opening balance, total invoiced, total paid and closing balance — the headline numbers before anyone reads a single line.

4

The running-balance ledger

Date, type, reference, description, debit, credit and balance — every invoice and payment in date order, each with the balance after it.

5

Closing balance

The final running balance: the single figure that says what this customer owes as of the end of the period.

Opening balance is carried from the customer's own account balance, so the statement doesn't pretend the relationship started on day one of the period. Every invoice raised (excluding anything cancelled) is a debit; every payment received is a credit; and the balance column simply carries the arithmetic forward line by line.

Because it is generated from your live invoices and payments — not typed up by hand — the numbers on the statement are the same numbers in your system. There is no re-keying, and nothing to fall out of sync.

What's inside

Built to be trusted, not just sent.

True running balance

Entries are sorted by date and the balance accumulates line by line — opening plus debits minus credits — so the closing figure is provably correct.

Any period

Set a From–To window for a monthly or quarterly statement, or leave it open to show the customer's entire history to date.

Your branding

The PDF carries your logo and contact details in the header, so it reads as an official document from your organisation.

Currency-aware

The statement currency follows the customer or your base currency, and each line carries its own currency label for clarity.

Clean data in

Cancelled invoices are excluded automatically, so a statement never shows a charge that was voided.

Scoped & permissioned

Only users with customer access can send statements, and every statement is strictly scoped to your own organisation's data.

Web & API

Trigger a statement from the customer screen, or via a token-authenticated API with idempotency for safe, repeatable sends.

Saved on file

Each generated statement PDF is stored against the customer, so there's always a record of exactly what was sent.

Empty-state aware

No activity in the period? The statement says so plainly instead of sending a confusing blank page.

The receivables data behind every statement — invoices and payments, drawn live so the statement never drifts from your books.
Drawn from live data

The statement is a view, not a copy.

A statement is only as trustworthy as the data underneath it. Because AWRA builds each one directly from your live customer invoices and payments at the moment you send it, there is no export-then-edit step where numbers can be massaged or go stale.

Raise an invoice, record a payment, void a charge — and the very next statement reflects it. The customer's running balance and your receivables are the same source of truth, presented for the customer to read.

Open Customer 360
Clear scope

Honest about what it is.

A customer statement is a running-balance ledger of invoices and payments, delivered by email as a branded PDF. It is deliberately focused: it summarises what was billed and paid over a period and the balance that remains. It is not an aging report with 30/60/90 buckets, it doesn't break out tax lines, and it labels currency rather than converting it. For dunning workflows and overdue analysis, statements pair with Aging Reports and Payments & Collections — each doing the job it does best.

Questions, answered

Customer statements FAQ.

What's on a customer statement?
Your branded header, the customer and period, four summary boxes (opening balance, invoiced, paid, closing balance), and a ledger table of every invoice and payment in date order — each with date, type, reference, description, debit, credit and a running balance.
How is the statement delivered?
It's generated as a branded PDF and emailed to the customer as an attachment. Before it sends, you set the recipient, CC and BCC, the subject and message, and the date range.
Can I cover just one month or quarter?
Yes. Set a From and To date for any window, or leave them blank to include the customer's full activity to date. The closing balance always reflects the running balance at the end of the range.
Where does the opening balance come from?
From the customer's own account balance, so the statement continues the relationship rather than pretending it began at the start of the period. Every invoice then adds to it and every payment reduces it.
Is this an aging report?
No. A statement is one customer's running-balance ledger. For 30/60/90 overdue buckets across all customers, use Aging Reports — statements and aging complement each other.
Does it handle different currencies?
Each line carries its own currency label and the statement currency follows the customer or your base currency. It labels currency for clarity rather than performing foreign-exchange conversion.
