Aging Reports
Application Overview
The Aging Reports are reports that can tell you a great deal about the state of a customer's account. It will tell you how much the customer owes you, and how old these owed amounts are.
In A/R Setup, you entered the length of the four aging periods to be used for aging your customer's accounts. For example, you may have decided to age a customer's account into these four periods: Current (less than 30 days old), 31‑60 Days, 61‑90 Days, and Over 90 Days. The program which prints the Aging Report will ask you to enter the date you want to base the aging calculations on, and then will proceed to calculate which of these four periods each open item on the customer's account belongs in, and report that to you, along with totals owed in each of the four periods.
The Aging Report can be printed in either a summarized format or a detailed format. If you elect to print the summarized format, only the total amount the customer currently owes, and a breakdown of this amount by period, will be reported. The detailed format prints this same summary information but then also lists each open item currently on the customer's account.
