Total Outgoing Payment
Sum of paid amount on all submitted Payment Entries of type Pay.
In detail
This card sums the paid amount on every submitted Payment Entry of type Pay, with no date filter, so it is all the cash that has ever gone out to suppliers and other payees through payment entries. Each one posted Dr Creditors, Cr Bank or Cash. The two overdue demo supplier bills add nothing until they are paid. Money paid by Journal Entry, such as salaries or tax remittances, is not included, so the card understates total outflow; the Cash Flow report gives the full picture.
Formula
Total Outgoing Payment = Sum of base_paid_amount on Payment Entry where docstatus = 1 and payment_type = Pay, no date filter
