Last updated: 15 February 2025 · 1 min read

Managing your Customer & Supplier Ledger in BillBook helps you track transactions, apply discounts, and monitor balances with ease.

Viewing Customer or Supplier Ledger

  • Go to → Contacts → Supplier/Customer
  • Find the customer or supplier you want to check.
  • Click on the Actions button.
  • Select Ledger to view their transaction history.

Tip: You can select a date range to filter transactions. Use the checkbox filters to show/hide transaction types as needed.

Adding a Discount for Customer/Supplier on Balance Due

If a customer or supplier has a balance due, you can apply a discount on the amount.

Steps to Apply a Discount

  1. Go to the Customer/Supplier Ledger screen.
  2. Click on the Add Discount button.
  3. A popup window will appear.
  4. Enter the discount details (amount, reason, etc.).
  5. Click Save.

The discounted amount will be automatically accounted for in their ledger.

Important Notes

  • Only the Admin can add a ledger discount — other users cannot.
  • Ledger Discount is NOT the same as Sale Discount:
    • Ledger Discount is applied to balance dues, not specific invoices.
    • Sale Discounts are applied during transactions and reflect in invoices.
  • Since Ledger Discounts do not link to invoices, they will not appear in sales records.
