A sample report, As of Aging by Account, is available in the As of Aging Reports folder on the Reports tab.

The report includes all transactions with a transaction date occurring on or before the "As of Date" for the most recently run As of Aging process. Transactions are grouped into age bands by the outstanding number of days between the "as of" date and the due date. Your administrator can choose to group transactions by the difference between the "as of" date and the transaction date—see Managing Custom Settings.

The report displays the Home Value for each transaction at the "as of" date: transactions that were matched prior to the "as of" date have a value equal to the Home Value less the matched value. You can customize the report to display values in the dual currency instead.

  • Groups outstanding transactions by account.
  • Shows the document number for each transaction. For example, the sales invoice number.
  • Shows accounts receivable and accounts payable on a single report.
  • Calculates subtotals of aged debt per age band for each account, and grand totals for each document number.

All of these attributes can be customized.
