Approve the fragrance-oil bill
- What happened
- Ashgrove Botanicals invoiced $3,158 for the Salt Marsh and Fig Leaf oils, due Sun 1 Nov.
- Why it matters
- Paying it lands on the same day cash dips to $3,158 — below the $8,000 floor. Not paying it stops the holiday pour.
- Recommended
- Approve the payment and let FlowLinX chase the $2,180 overdue first so the floor holds.
Chase $2,180 in overdue invoices
- What happened
- Bellwood Realty ($1,240, 19 days) and The Ivy Room ($940, 12 days) have both passed terms.
- Why it matters
- This is the fastest cash available before 1 Nov and both customers pay on reminder.
- Recommended
- Send the prepared reminders — polite, with the invoice and a payment link once Stripe is connected.
Confirm a duplicate-looking charge
- What happened
- Two $684 charges from Verdant Packaging posted 20 minutes apart on 14 Oct.
- Why it matters
- One matches invoice #1042 for jars. The second has no matching order or delivery note.
- Recommended
- Confirm whether the second charge is a split shipment, or FlowLinX drafts the dispute.
