> Open the customer, tap Statement, pick the period and tap Open statement. Then use Print / Save as PDF to print it or keep a PDF you can send on WhatsApp.

To make a statement, open the customer's page, tap **Statement**, choose a period such as **This month** or **All time**, and tap **Open statement**. The statement opens on screen with your shop's name and details, the opening balance, every credit and payment with a running balance, and the balance due. Tap **Print / Save as PDF** to print it or save it as a PDF you can send on WhatsApp.

A statement is the fastest way to settle "how did it get to this much?", because every line behind the total is on one page.

## Make a statement in the counter app

1. Open **Customers** and tap the customer.
2. Tap **Statement** in the row of buttons. The sheet **Print a statement** opens: "Pick the period. The statement opens here, ready to print or save as PDF."
3. Choose **This month**, **Last month**, **Last 3 months**, **All time**, or **Pick dates** and set **From** and **To**.
4. Tap **Open statement**.
5. Check it, then tap **Print / Save as PDF**.

Any line the customer has disputed is marked **Disputed by customer**; see [When a customer disputes an entry: check, correct and resolve](https://ck.abdohoo.app/help/resolve-customer-disputes).

The statement is laid out for A4 paper. For a single entry on a small counter printer, use **Print receipt** on that line instead, which offers 58 mm and 80 mm widths.

## Save as PDF and share on WhatsApp

1. Tap **Print / Save as PDF**.
2. In the print window, choose **Save as PDF** (the wording depends on your browser or phone) as the printer, and save.
3. Open WhatsApp, go to the customer's chat, attach the PDF as a document, and send.

If the customer has their own sign-in, they do not need you to send anything: the **Statement** button on their khata makes the same statement for any period, whenever they want it.

## In the Android app

Open the customer and tap **Statement**, pick the period, and use the buttons at the bottom: **Print / Save as PDF**, **WhatsApp**, or **Share PDF** to send the file through any app on your phone.

## The customer's own statement

On their khata, the customer taps **Statement**, chooses **This month**, **Last month**, **Pick a month**, **Custom dates** or **Everything**, and taps **Open statement**. They can print it or save it as a PDF in the same way.
