# Outstanding Balances

## **Managing Outstanding Balances**

This guide covers how to view and manage outstanding balances, both within a single horse show and across multiple shows at once.

### Viewing Balances on the Main Entries Screen

The main entries screen includes a Balance column showing the outstanding balance on every entry. The entries overview screen also gives you a breakdown of the total balance due across your show.

Like every other column on this screen, you can rearrange the Balance column to sort entries from largest to smallest, or smallest to largest, an easy way to spot your biggest outstanding balances, or entries sitting on a credit balance.

### Managing Balances Across Multiple Shows

1. From your main dashboard, click the Open Accounts icon.
2. This opens a global payments screen, where you can manage balances across every entry, even across multiple horse shows at once.
3. Use the search filter to narrow down to a specific subset of entries, including entries from different shows.
4. Select multiple entries and use Bulk Actions to take further payment-related actions.

### Generating an Outstanding Balances Report

Every horse show also has an Outstanding Balances report available under the Reports screen. This gives you a full breakdown of outstanding balances by entry number, available in either PDF or CSV format.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.horsespot.com/product-docs/show-day-tools/payments/payments-within-horse-spot/outstanding-balances.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
