What is the Aged Debtors report? The Aged Debtors report lists all outstanding customer invoices and unallocated customer transactions, such as payments on account. It shows how much each customer owes and categorises these amounts by how long they have been overdue. This helps you see who owes you money and how much. By understanding who owes money and for how long, you can collect overdue payments. It also helps in planning and financial forecasting. Run the Aged Debtors report
