    Hi Neilin, I know you've mentioned customising the template, however from the sounds you'd like to change the behaviour of how items within a customer statement is represented?


    If so it'd be good to understand more of the reason of why you're wanting to show overpayments as a positive? 

    If a customer has paid more than expected amount this amount is then a credit on their record and in turn draws down the total amount owed. 

    Alternatively you may want to be looking at recording as a prepayment?

    Thanks for your message Kelly.

    I dont believe you have understood the problem my clients are facing.

    I have attached a statement for you to see the two main problems appearing on the customer statement.

    First, the overpayment is appearing as a negative balance under the invoice amount column, instead of it appearing under the payments column. Please see the highlighted mark in the row dated 23 Jun 2021.

    In addition to all that, the balance column on the customer statement is the same as the total of the invoice amount in each row, instead of a cumulative balance (under the balance column).

    For example, the balance on the row dated 6th May 2021, I would expect to see £599.30 (£311.20 + £288.10). This is how all customer statements should appear. I have used other software and their customer statement reports are very clear, but Xero customer statement is not providing that.

    Please help check this?
