AR Aged Period-Sensitive

Form ID: (AR630500)

You use this report to determine the state of the open documents at the end of a particular period. This report shows the documents (by statement cycle and by customer) that are outstanding at the end of the specified period, broken down by aging periods or financial periods, depending on the settings of the statement cycle specified for a customer. The balances are arranged by days past due on the last day of the specified period or by document dates. All the amounts are shown in the base currency.

Calculation of Aging Periods

The system calculates aging periods for this report based on the period you select in the Financial Period box on the Report Parameters tab of this report form and on the statement cycle settings specified on the Statement Cycles (AR202800) form as follows:

  • If the Use Financial Periods for Aging check box is selected for the statement cycle, the system will use aging periods that correspond to the financial periods; the zero aging period (the leftmost column in the report) is the financial period you have selected on this report form.
  • If the Use Financial Periods for Aging check box is cleared for the statement cycle, the system will use the aging periods that are specified for this statement cycle.

On the generated report, the selected financial period is displayed in the Fin. Period box and the last date of the period is displayed in the Aged On box.

Aging of Outstanding Documents

The system distributes the open invoices, debit memos, and overdue charges over the financial periods or aging periods depending on the statement cycle settings on the Statement Cycles (AR202800) form:

  • If Due Date is selected in the Age Based On box for the statement cycle, the system will compare the due dates of outstanding documents with the Aged On date you specify on this report form. The overdue balances are grouped by the aging periods or financial periods specified for the applicable statement cycle, while the balances that aren't overdue are displayed in the Current column of the report.
  • If Document Date is selected in the Age Based On box for the statement cycle, the system will compare the document dates of outstanding documents with the Aged On date you specify on this report form. The balances of the documents with dates the same as or later than the aging date are displayed in the Current column on this report; other outstanding balances are broken down by the number of days from the Aged On of the report through the document date.

For more information, see Using AR Aging Reports.

Aging of Credit Amounts

In the report, the amounts of open payments, prepayments, and credit memos are aged by periods if the Age Credits check box is selected on the Accounts Receivable Preferences (AR101000) form. If the credit amounts are aged, they are broken down by the number of days that have passed from the document date through the Aged On date of the report. By default, the Age Credits check box is cleared and the credit amounts are shown up in the Current column of the report.

    The list of classes may be limited based on the roles assigned to the user account to which you are signed in if the Customer and Vendor Visibility Restriction feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form.
