Customer Statements - Include prepayments

Customer Statements - Would be good if customer statements could include a prepayment balance somewhere on the statement. My client receives a lot of prepayments and would like customers to be able to see at a glance their remaining credit.

Hi team, wanting to jump in to provide a little clarity as there are 2 different points arising through this idea.

Currently, customer prepayments will only be shown on a customer's Activity statement, not Outstanding statements.

The way prepayments work in Xero, these only impact the Accounts receivable once it's applied to an invoice, therefore they don't impact the total of the statement balance.

If you want to impact the total balance, you may want to consider entering these sort of payments as Overpayments in your account. You can read more on how this works in our Xero central article.

To be open here, we don't have any short term plans for changing how these transaction types are treated in statements.
