Party balance in a mandi business is tracked by posting every sale, purchase, payment, deduction and adjustment against the correct party. The current baqaya should update immediately after each entry.
Use aging, not only total balance
A single total balance does not show risk. Aging buckets such as 0-30, 31-60, 61-90 and 90+ days show which parties need follow-up.
Send regular confirmations
Monthly WhatsApp balance confirmations reduce end-of-season disputes and make recovery easier.
