Post Dated Cheque is a future payment Receipt given today. Like we can get the payment on future. But the cheque we can get it from the customer today or give cheque to supplier today. On the maturity Date the Supplier will collect it from Bank or we have to collect our customer cheque on the same way.  This is two sides we can mange it.
  1. Post Dated Cheque from Customer
  2. Post Dated Cheque to Supplier

From Customer

We are receiving cheque for multiple invoices from our customer with date of future, We can't collect this payment today. We can collect this cheque on the date given in cheque. So in our system, We can able to store these informations and helps you to  notify the expiring cheques. So it can be collected on the date and allocated the specified invoices to it.

To Supplier

For your suppliers, You can provide a similar way of future dated cheque. So on the date the supplier will collect payment and allocate specified invoices for it. We need notification to cheque that on this date, we should have the balance of the cheque given or more than that to avoid credit risks.

Let's take a look at each of them with our TamilAccounting Implementation. This is a custom app. So this app will be installed based on the request from your side. 

Sales
