Step 1 · Step one

Make the follow-up list visible

Start with invoice status, not the customer name. Separate open, overdue, draft, paid, and uncollectable records so the next call is obvious.

Open invoices
Overdue invoices
Draft invoices
Paid records

Step 2 · Next action

Turn the report into a simple follow-up list

Once the list is clean, check balances and decide who gets a message, a call, or a payment arrangement.

A direct answer to the question owners ask most about this process.

Should I delete old overdue invoices?

Usually no. Keep the record, mark the proper status, and use reports to separate active follow-up from historical records.
