BlueLandscape · Payment Arrangements
Stop losing track of who's paid which instalment.
A tax bill you're paying off in parts, or a client paying you in agreed instalments — log the reference, add a schedule of dated amounts, and BlueLandscape tracks status automatically as instalments are paid.
Free, included with your account — no separate subscription.
What it tracks
One arrangement, either direction
Outgoing or incoming
A supplier invoice, tax bill, or lease you're paying off — or a client paying you in parts. Direction is set once at creation and shown as a pill on every row.
A dated instalment schedule
Add each instalment's due date and amount. Mark one paid with a single action — partial payments are tracked too, so a part-paid line stays accurate.
Four statuses, resolved automatically
Active while any instalment is pending, completed once every instalment is paid, defaulted the moment one falls overdue, cancelled only when you cancel it manually — recomputed on every read, no background job required.
Rolls into your cash-flow projection
Pending instalments feed the cash-flow overview's forward projection on both sides — outgoing as expenses, incoming as inflow — and can be matched straight from a booked bank transaction.
A worked example
A quarterly tax bill split three ways
A sole trader gets a €1,500 provisional tax assessment and arranges to pay it in three monthly instalments of €500. She logs one outgoing arrangement, reference "BTW Q3 2026," and adds three dated lines. As each instalment clears the bank, she marks it paid — after the second one, the arrangement still shows active with one instalment pending; after the third, it flips to completed on its own. If the second payment had slipped past its due date instead, the arrangement would show defaulted the same day, without her having to check back.
What it isn't
An invoice-linked instalment plan (a customer paying an invoice in parts) is still edited from that invoice's payment-plan panel — this surface shows those rows read-only. Payment arrangements is for everything else: standalone schedules with no invoice behind them, in either direction.
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between an outgoing and an incoming arrangement?
Outgoing is money you owe — a supplier invoice, tax bill, or lease you're paying off in parts. Incoming is money owed to you — a client paying in agreed instalments. Direction is set once at creation and shown as a label on every row.
Does the status update itself as instalments get paid?
Yes. An arrangement is active while any instalment is pending, completed once every instalment is paid, and defaulted the moment one falls overdue — recomputed automatically on every read, no manual bookkeeping.
Can it remind a client to pay an instalment?
Yes, for standalone incoming arrangements — opt-in and off by default. When enabled, it sends a heads-up the day before an instalment is due, a missed notice the day after, and a follow-up a week later.
Is an invoice's payment plan the same thing as a payment arrangement?
Not quite. An invoice-linked instalment plan (a customer paying a specific invoice in parts) is still edited from that invoice's own payment-plan panel — this surface shows those rows read-only. Payment arrangements is for everything else: standalone schedules with no invoice behind them, in either direction.
Is there a cost to tracking a payment arrangement?
No. It's free, bundled with every account, with no entitlement gate.
