What Aging Means

Aging groups balances by how long they have remained unpaid. Businesses often review current balances separately from overdue balances such as 1 to 30 days, 31 to 60 days, 61 to 90 days, and older amounts.

Use summary first: Start with the summary report to identify which customers need attention, then open the detail report to see the supporting lines.

How To Use The Reports

  1. Run Receivables Aging Summary for the selected review date.
  2. Filter by customer, salesperson, or location if the collections review is assigned by team or branch.
  3. Move to Receivables Aging Detail when one customer or one overdue total needs explanation.
  4. Use the month-wise versions when management wants to see how aging changed over the year.
  5. Use graph view for presentations and list view for working review, export, or printing.

Best Practice

  • Review aging regularly, not only at month-end.
  • Use the same aging date when comparing departments or branches.
  • Follow summary with detail before escalating a customer balance issue.
  • Use month-wise aging when you want to confirm whether receivables are improving or getting older over time.
Important: Aging reflects the transactions and allocations currently recorded in QBM. Late payments, unallocated receipts, or missing credits will affect the result.
