A/R Aging Detail Report
The A/R Aging Detail report shows unpaid invoices and statement charges in accounts receivable, grouped and summed by Customer/Project, and then summed for the period. The A/R Aging Detail report shows transactions based on the date they are closed, as opposed to the date they are applied. This includes credit memos.
The A/R Aging Detail report includes the following sections:
-
Customer — The legal name of the customer or project with the open balance, itemized by transaction and then summed. Entries grouped under No Customer/Project are Journal Entries.
-
Transaction Type — The type of customer or project transaction such as invoice, customer credit, payment, and so on.
-
Date — The date on which the transaction was entered into the system.
-
No. — The number of the transaction, specific to the transaction type.
-
P.O. No. — The purchase order number for the transaction.
-
Due Date — The date on which the transaction amount was due.
-
Age — The number of days past due.
-
Amount Due — The amount due itemized by transaction and grouped by customer or project total.
The A/R Aging Detail report is customizable. For more information, see Report Customization.
You can use A/R Aging reports to identify where your collection efforts should be concentrated. Because accounts receivable directly affect your company's cash, close attention should be paid to customers that are extending the time it takes to collect your accounts receivable. The longer accounts are left unpaid, the more likely it is that you cannot collect on that account. A large number of overdue amounts may signal that your business needs to tighten credit policies toward new and existing customers.

Debit and credit journal entries against identical accounts for the same entity value do not impact the general ledger, and therefore do not appear in the A/R Aging Detail report.
If the Consolidated Payments feature is enabled, the A/R Aging report shows the un-consolidated balance for each subcustomer. Amounts are totaled for each customer-subcustomer hierarchy, which permits you to see the consolidated balances. For details about this feature, see Consolidated Payments.
