One dashboard, three views

At the top of your dashboard is a toggle with three options:
  • Billed (Accrual)
  • Collected (Cash)
  • Outstanding
Switching it changes every dashboard card at once, so the whole page tells one consistent story.
This only changes how you see the dashboard. Your documents and data aren’t affected.

A quick example

If you send an invoice in January and it’s paid in February: Billed shows it in January, Collected shows it in February, Outstanding shows it until it’s paid.
That single invoice is the same in all three views — you’re just looking at it through a different lens.

What each view means

Billed (Accrual)

What you earned or owed, by the date documents were issued — whether or not they’ve been paid. Amounts include tax. This is the view for “how much business did I do this month?”

Collected (Cash)

Money that actually moved. A payment shows up in the month it arrived, not the month the invoice was raised. Partial payments count only the portion that was paid — the amount is split proportionally, including tax — so a part-payment shows exactly what landed in the bank. This is the number owners tend to feel day to day.

Outstanding

What’s still owed right now. Instead of months, Outstanding groups everything by how overdue it is:
BucketMeaning
CurrentNot yet due
1–30 daysUp to a month past due
31–60 daysOne to two months past due
61–90 daysTwo to three months past due
90+ daysMore than three months past due
Outstanding always shows the remaining amount, not the original total. If a 1,000invoicehashad1,000 invoice has had 300 paid, Outstanding shows the $700 that’s still owed.

Two things worth knowing

  • The Quote Pipeline card ignores the toggle. Quotes aren’t revenue yet, so they sit outside Billed, Collected, and Outstanding and always show your open pipeline.
  • You can set your default view. Go to Settings and choose your Default reporting view — that’s the one your dashboard opens on. You can still switch views any time; the default is just your starting point.

Common questions

They almost never match exactly, and that’s expected — it’s a question of timing. Billed counts a document in the month it was issued; Collected counts the money in the month it actually arrived. Using the example above: an invoice sent in January but paid in February shows under Billed in January and under Collected in February. Across a full year the totals converge, but in any single month they’ll differ by whatever is still waiting to be paid.
In Collected (Cash) view, if a supplier has refunded you, the refund is subtracted from your Monthly Spend card — but refunds aren’t shown as a slice in the Expense Breakdown (they have no category). So when refunds are present, the breakdown can total slightly more than the Monthly Spend figure. This is expected, not an error.
Some documents don’t have a due date, so eggz can’t work out how overdue they are. Rather than guess, it shows them as Current and tells you how many there are (“N with no due date”) so nothing is hidden or mis-aged.
