You simply cannot. If you don’t want to enter many invoices you can enter a cumulative one for each client/supplier. But I don’t think it’s a good idea. You can batch create the invoices which is a lot better.

Read the Guide: [Set starting balances for customers | Manager](https://www.manager.io/guides/5494). You will notice that the field labeled as `Starting balance` is only for available credit. It is **not** meant for unpaid invoices.

Follow the Guide linked to in post #3. If you have a specific question, ask it.
