What is your definition of a pending invoice and how do you enter it into Sage 50?

Are you referring to what has been posted but not yet printed or emailed?  If so, then there is no report I know of, but you can run the Batch Printing option to see a list.

You can run a Pending Sales Order report from the Reports, Receivables menu.

It is used mainly in progress invoicing. I create an estimate, create an invoice that is due on signing - send it out, and create an additional 2 invoices "due on the start of manufacturing" and "due on delivery" which are placed as "pending" invoices to be sent out in the future.

I'm sorry but I guess I am still unsure how you are entering these pending invoices into Sage 50 now.

I don't think the Canadian version of Sage 50 has that kind of classification that you describe.  I believe when using Cash-Basis accounting, invoices are not posted and can be reported on through the Accounts Receivable reporting but they are only posted when paid, not when posted and printed.  But I haven't looked at Cash-Basis accounting in many years and I have never run a set of books under that method.

Based on your description, the only option may be recurring entries.  There is a report on the Reports menu on the Home screen but it doesn't show dollars and may not be suitable for your use.

Most people I know use Sales orders for progress billing and therefore the Pending Sales Order report works to some degree.  I don't know if anyone has tried to use the Delivery Order part of the program to do this kind of thing but there is a Pending Delivery Order report on the Reports, Receivables menu.

Maybe someone else has some ideas as well.

I am using this method in Quickbooks, but there is a discussion in the office to change to Sage 50 so I'm looking into it to see if this is a possibility in Sage 50 Canadian edition. I can't seem to find a positive answer to this question. Thanks for your prompt responses.
