Overview
This article describes the process of viewing the deliveries which have not yet had Invoices applied against them in the Unbilled tab in Fourth Analytics for Purchasing & Inventory.
This tab shows Purchase Orders which have been received, but not yet had Invoices applied against them.
Unbilled Value With and Without Rates
These figures are displayed in a banner across the top of the tab, and are pre-set based on the current (today’s) date.

Billed and Unbilled Receiving
This graph displays the total value Billed and Unbilled by month, pre-set for the past 12 months.
Please Note: The graph uses two scales, one for Billed and one for Unbilled. In the example below, the Unbilled bar for October appears larger than the Billed bar, however Unbilled is £40.1k and Billed is £1.5m.

Unbilled Receiving Breakdown
These graphs show the breakdown of Unbilled Receiving for the selected time period by Supplier, Property and Outlet respectively. Negative amounts mean that returns are awaiting credit notes.

Fig.5 – Unbilled Receiving – Detailed Table
This example scenario outlines the process of reconciling outstanding Invoice totals, preparing end-of-month accruals figures for the month and to be able to determine if there are any instances where Payment Terms of 60 days after the delivery date may not be compliant, using the graphs and dashboards outlined above.
- Select the required time period using the Date Dimension (Business day) filter under Property Details
- Within the Account Details filters, set the Supplier filter as required
- Scroll down to the Billed and Unbilled Receiving Reconciliation Including Rates report. The Unbilled figure will be the selected time period’s new accruals value
- The accruals figure should be the existing value of accruals from prior periods
- Next choose the preceding time period using the Date Dimension (Business day) filter under Property Details to filter on all deliveries received over this time period
- Scroll down to the Unbilled Receiving Detailed report
- Sort the Days in Arrear column from largest to smallest by selecting the v symbol in the column header
- Refer to any Purchase Orders which have been received more than 60 days prior, but are still Unbilled
