Introduction to the Aged Creditors report
Description

What is the Aged Creditors report?

The Aged Creditors report lists all outstanding supplier invoices and unallocated supplier transactions, such as payments on account. It shows how much you owe each supplier and categorises these amounts by how long they have been overdue. This helps you see who you owe money to and how much.

By understanding who you owe money to and for how long, you can make overdue payments. It also helps in planning and financial forecasting.

Understanding ageing periods

Ageing periods break down unpaid invoices into different time categories. You can view the report by days or by calendar month.

This breakdown helps you quickly identify which invoices need immediate attention. Regularly reviewing these reports helps you stay on top of your payables and means you can address any issues with late payments promptly. 

To change your ageing periods:

  1. Go to Settings then Business settings.
  2. Choose Record and transaction settings.
