Review tour supplier balances before a payment run
Keep hotel, guide, transport and attraction bills linked to tour groups, then review amounts due, recorded payments and outstanding supplier balances.
Tour vendor payables show what remains owed on recorded supplier bills. For each supplier, retain the bill reference, related tour, due date, amount and payment history. Before paying, check whether another team member has already recorded a payment and whether any adjustment or credit is supported.

Review due dates and unresolved differences.
Record the payment reference against the bill and check the remaining balance.
Worked example
A guide's USD 600 bill and a transport supplier's USD 900 bill total USD 1,500. If USD 200 has already been paid to the guide, the combined remaining payable is USD 1,300, not USD 1,500.

What should a tour office check before paying a supplier?
Check the bill reference, group or service, amount, prior payments and any supported adjustment. Confirm the intended supplier and keep a payment reference so the next review does not treat the same bill as unpaid.
