The Scenario
It is Tuesday morning and your collection calls start at 10. You have 80 unpaid invoices sitting in Zoho Invoice — some sent two weeks ago, some overdue by a month — and you need to know which ones to call about first. The data is in Zoho Invoice. Your call list needs to be in an Excel workbook.
Last week you went into Zoho Invoice, filtered for overdue status, and manually copied invoice numbers, customer names, and balances into a workbook row by row. It took 45 minutes. This week there are more rows.
The bad version:
- You filter Zoho Invoice by status, sort by due date, and start manually copying fields into your workbook — invoice number, customer name, balance due, due date.
- Zoho Invoice paginates at 25 rows, so you scroll to the next page, copy more rows, paste below the previous batch, realign the columns.
- You finish the copy job, sort the workbook by due date, and discover three rows landed in the wrong column because the paste alignment slipped.
Collection prioritisation only works if the list is accurate. A workbook assembled from a misaligned paste job is not a reliable starting point for calls that involve real money.

What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
You only want invoices overdue by more than 14 days
List all Zoho Invoice invoices that are overdue by more than 14 days and write invoice number into column A, customer name into column B, balance due into column C, and days overdue into column D, sorted by days overdue descending
You want to add a priority tier column
List all Zoho Invoice invoices with status sent or overdue, write invoice number into column A, customer name into column B, balance due into column C, due date into column D; then in column E write HIGH if column C is greater than 500, otherwise write NORMAL
You want only specific customers
List all Zoho Invoice invoices with status sent or overdue for the customers listed in column A of the Accounts worksheet, and write the results — invoice number, customer name, balance due, due date — into columns A through D of the Collections worksheet
The full collection prep: pull, tier, and flag
List all Zoho Invoice invoices overdue by more than 7 days, write invoice number into column A, customer name into column B, balance due into column C, days overdue into column D; mark column E as URGENT if days overdue is more than 30, FOLLOW UP if 8 to 30 days; sort by days overdue descending
The pattern: pull the data, apply the classification logic, and sort it in one ask.
