When customers pay late, you may want to charge them a 
penalty. If a customer refuses to pay and you are unable to 
collect, you may need to write off an invoice as a bad debt. 

If you have customers who don’t pay their bills on time, you can 
charge interest on overdue invoices. For information on setting 
up interest charges, see “Enter Payment Options for Vendors and 
Customers” in Chapter 3. Sometimes, you will encounter 
customers who pay their overdue invoices, but refuse to pay the 
interest charge. For this reason, Simply Accounting does not 
automatically add interest payments to invoices when they 
become overdue. You must enter the interest payment as a 
separate transaction. 

Note:  Overdue interest charges appear only on customer 
statements. To print a customer statement, in the Home window, 
from the Reports menu, choose Customers and Sales, and then 
Customer Statements. 

1.  In the Home window, choose the Sales, Orders, and Quotes 

icon. 

2.  In the Transaction field, select Invoice, and in the Paid By 

field, select Pay Later. 

3.  Select the customer to whom you are charging interest. 

4.  In the Invoice field, type Int and then the original invoice 

number. 

5.  Fill in the details of the invoice: 

a)  In the Description field, type Interest on overdue 

. 

b)  For the amount, type the amount of interest collected.
