Hello.

The balances due to/from us by XXX as of 31.03.2021 are as follows...
(XXX is a company's name)

May I please ask you if I understood the phrase 'balance due to' correctly.
This means that my debt (oprn amount of money) towards a company is YYY EUR.

Thank you.
 
Hello.

[STRIKE]Thank you.[/STRIKE] Unnecessary. Thank us after we help you, by clicking on the "Thank" button.

Note my corrections above.

I think you've understood it the wrong way round. The balance due to you by company XXX is the amount of money they owe you (you are waiting for them to pay you). The balance due by you to company XXX is the amount of money you owe them (they are waiting for you to pay them).

I underlined "oprn" because I don't know what you meant. Initially, I thought it was a typo for "open" but that doesn't make sense. We don't say "open amount of money".
 
Yes, I meant 'open amount'.
My question is if 'The balances due to XXX as of 31.03.2021 are as follows...' exactly means the amount of money I owe them (they are waiting for me to pay them.
Am I right?
 
Yes, I meant 'open amount'.

My question is if 'The balances due from me to XXX as of 31.03.2021 are as follows...' exactly means the amount of money I owe them (they are waiting for me to pay them). Am I right?

With the addition of "from me", yes. If you don't include "from me", it just means that someone owes those amounts of money to XXX. Of course, having used "balances" and "are", you would need to list more than one amount, and then add them up to get to the total amount of money that is owed.
