Reports
Accounts Receivable Aging Report
Run the Accounts Receivable Aging Report at the beginning of every month to view outstanding invoices. The report output provides Customer Name, Customer Account Number, Invoice Number, Invoice Amount, Accounting Date (& due date), funding segment string and days past due.
The Original Invoice Amount and the Balance Due column reflect the total amount charged to the Customer per invoice. If this amount is applied to multiple funding sources then you will see multiple lines with the same total on this report.
Note: It is the department’s responsibility to run monthly aging reports and follow up with customers whose invoices are 30 days past due.
