# Forecast future bills to pay
|
|
|
|
In Odoo, you can manage payments by setting automatic **Payments Terms** and **follow-ups**.
|
|
|
|
## Configuration: payment terms
|
|
|
|
In order to track vendor conditions, we use **Payment Terms** in Odoo. They allow keeping track of
|
|
due dates on invoices. Examples of **Payment Terms** are:
|
|
|
|
- 50% within 30 days
|
|
- 50% within 45 days
|
|
|
|
To create them, go to {menuselection}`Accounting --> Configuration --> Invoicing: Payment Terms` and
|
|
click on {guilabel}`Create` to add new terms or click existing ones to modify them.

|
|
:::
|
|
|
|
Once **Payment Terms** are defined, you can assign them to your vendor by default. To do so, go to
|
|
{menuselection}`Vendors --> Vendors`, select a vendor, click the {guilabel}`Sales & Purchase` tab,
|
|
and select a specific **Payment Term**. This way, every time you purchase from this vendor, Odoo
|
|
automatically proposes the chosen Payment Term.
|
|
|
|

|
|
If you do not set a specific Payment Term on a vendor, you can still set one on the vendor bill.

## Forecast bills to pay with the aged payable report
|
|
|
|
To track amounts to be paid to the vendors, use the **Aged Payable** report. To access it, go to
|
|
{menuselection}`Accounting --> Reporting --> Partner Reports: Aged Payable`. This report gives you a
|
|
summary per vendor of the amounts to pay, compared to their due date (the due date being computed on
|
|
each bill using the terms). This report tells you how much you will have to pay within the following
|
|
months.
|
|
|
|
## Select bills to pay
|
|
|
|
You can get a list of all your vendor bills by going to {menuselection}`Vendors --> Bills`. To view
|
|
only the bills that you need to pay, click {menuselection}`Filters --> Bills to Pay`. To view only
|
|
overdue payments, select the {guilabel}`Overdue` filter instead.
|
|
|
|
You can also group bills by their due date by clicking {menuselection}`Group By --> Due Date` and
|
|
selecting a time period.
