When you submit the Invoice Aging Report, you select the type of aging periods to use for the report.

For example, you define one type of aging period called Weeks Past Due, and define the following periods for Weeks Past Due: 1 Week, 2 Weeks, 3 Weeks, and Over 3 Weeks. You also define a type of aging period called Current, and define the following periods for Current: Due in More than 3 Weeks, Due in 3 Weeks, Due in 2 Weeks, and Due in 1 Week. When you submit the report, if you select Weeks Past Due for the Type parameter, Payables reports on the four periods with that type.

You can use the Aging Periods window to modify or reorder the periods within an aging period type at any time.

Defining Aging Periods

   To define an aging period:

1. In the Aging Periods window, enter the Name and Description of the type of aging periods you are defining. When you submit the Invoice Aging Report, this value will appear in Type parameter list of values if it is active. To activate the aging period, choose Active.

2. Enter each aging period:

Enter the range of days for the period. For example, to define a period that reports invoice payments due during the next 7 days, enter From -7 days To 0 days.

Enter the First and Second lines of the Column Heading as you want them to appear on your report. For example, Due in 1 Week.

Enter the column order. The period with Column Order 1 will be the first column on the report, and so on. The Invoice Aging Report uses only the four lowest numbered periods. You can reorder periods at any time.

3. Save your work.
