How to use the Outstanding Invoices chart in VOGSY
VOGSY’s Outstanding Invoices chart is a key tool for managing your accounts receivable and supporting healthy cash flow. It provides a visual overview of unpaid invoices by customer, helping you quickly identify overdue payments and prioritize follow-up actions.
Understanding the metrics and visualization
The chart uses a stacked bar graph, where each bar represents a customer and the length of the bar reflects the outstanding invoice amount. The colors within each bar indicate how long the invoices have been overdue.
Key data information includes:
Customer Name: The client associated with outstanding invoices.
Invoice Amount Due: The total amount of the outstanding invoice.
Age of the amounts due: The duration since the invoice was issued, often indicated by color-coding.
The chart uses a stacked bar graph visualization, where each bar represents a customer, and the length of the bar indicates the total outstanding amount for that customer. The bar's colors are a key indicator of the invoice's age. The color coding for invoice age includes:
Colors indicating invoices that are 30 days or less outstanding.
Colors indicating invoices that are 30 - 60 days outstanding.
Colors indicating invoices that are 60 - 90 days outstanding.
Colors indicating invoices that are 90 days or more outstanding.
Filtering
Filter by Departments: View outstanding invoices for projects handled by specific departments.
Drilling down for detail
One of the chart's most valuable features is its drill-down capability. By clicking on a specific customer bar, you can access a detailed breakdown of that customer's outstanding invoices.
The drill-down shows the total amounts outstanding per age category (-30 days, 30-60 days, 60-90 days, and 90- days)
Expanding the drill-down provides details such as:
Invoice Number
Invoice Date
Due date
Original Invoice Amount
Amount Due

This level of granularity makes it easy to track down delayed payments, communicate with the right stakeholders, and take action to improve collections.
