Credit Control is used to keep the extended credit to the debtor in control so that the debtor does not convert into a bad debt.

 

You can activate/deactivate credit control from the Edit Contact option.

 

 

Credit Control is activated based on the number of outstanding days or the total outstanding balance of the debtor.

 

If a new invoice is generated and the debtor has any pending invoice which is for more than the accepted limit of overdue days set or if the debtor has more outstanding balance than the accepted limit set, then an email is sent to you as a reminder to keep the credit extended in control and follow up with the debtor to collect the earlier dues.
