Track expected and overdue payments with PayTrack™
Completing the signing doesn't mean the business transaction is finished.
Until you've been paid, the order is still part of your accounts receivable.
**PayTrack™** helps you keep expected payments visible so unpaid work doesn't disappear from your attention after the appointment is over.
### Expected payment dates
When The NEST has payment-term information for the company or order, it can use that information to help estimate when payment should arrive.
This gives you a working expectation for your receivables rather than treating every unpaid invoice as though it has the same timeline.
### View payments on the calendar
Use the **PayTrack™** calendar view when you want to look at your business based on expected incoming money rather than appointment dates.
Instead of asking:
**“What signings do I have this week?”**
PayTrack™ helps you ask:
**“What completed work should be paying me this week?”**
### Watch for overdue payments
When an expected payment date passes and the balance remains unpaid, PayTrack™ can make that receivable easier to identify.
The longer a payment remains outstanding, the more important it becomes to determine whether follow-up is needed.
### Payment history improves relationship context
Payment behavior is part of a business relationship.
A company that consistently pays according to its terms presents a different business relationship from one that repeatedly pays late.
Keeping payments accurate allows The NEST to preserve that history alongside the rest of your relationship information.
### Record payments when they arrive
PayTrack™ depends on accurate payment records.
When you receive payment outside an automatically connected payment workflow, record it in The NEST.
If you receive only part of the balance, record the partial payment rather than marking the entire order paid.
Once the balance has been satisfied, the order should no longer behave like an outstanding receivable.
### Expected doesn't mean guaranteed
An expected payment date is a business-management tool, not a promise that money will arrive on that exact day.
Actual payment timing can vary.
Use PayTrack™ to identify what should be coming in, recognize when something has become unusually late, and decide when a receivable needs your attention.
The goal is simple:
**Completed work shouldn't become forgotten money.**
