Being warned before a bill or a contract falls due
Free
A contract that renews is forgotten as easily as a supplier's invoice. Any document with a due date can warn you — a few days before, and again on the day — and the dashboard bell keeps what is still to be dealt with in one place.
Per document
On the document, a Notifications switch and a days before line. It comes on, with 3 days. Two alerts arrive: the days you chose before the due date, and another on the day itself. Tapping the alert opens the document. Correct the due date and the alert re-arms for the new one.
A general default in Settings is inherited by new documents, so the number is set once.
What never warns
- A paid document.
- A document with the switch off.
- A document already overdue — deliberately (see the questions below).
The dashboard bell
The bell on the dashboard shows what is pending: unpaid documents, schedules coming up, budgets crossed and a forecast negative balance. There is nothing to configure — each document already says how many days ahead it wants to warn, and the bell respects that. Overdue documents always show, and leave the list only when paid.
Recurring movements warn too
Rent, subscriptions and instalments have their own alerts, on the days you choose and on the day; tap the notification and the form opens pre-filled. See Movements that repeat.
Questions
- Which documents can warn me?
- Any document with a due date: invoice, credit note, debit note, receipt, contract, or a type you created.
- Can I be warned on the day only?
- Yes — set 0 days. Zero does not switch the alert off; the switch does.
- Why does an overdue document not keep reminding me?
- On purpose. An alert every morning for a document three months late teaches people to ignore alerts. Overdue documents show where they can be acted on: the forecast, the ageing view, the calendar and the dashboard bell.
