Bali property payment ledger

What belongs in it?

Not only amounts. Every line should answer: what was paid for, on which basis, to whom, in which currency, what document proves it and what remains open.

The short answer

Create the ledger before the first payment, fill it from the agreement and update only from documents. Do not use it to calculate tax, rate or legal consequences: it is a fact list, not an automatic conclusion.

One row, one event

Do not merge deposit, fee, milestone payment and return into one amount. Different events have different conditions and evidence. A separate row shows what is closed and what is only promised.

Update from a document

A record does not change because a manager said “received”, but when retained evidence links to the right row. Do not delete older versions: mark change date and source.

The ledger is not a rate calculator

An official benchmark is useful context but does not provide your bank quote, fee or transfer result. Put actual transaction data in the ledger and preserve the source of every number separately.
