Aged past due (AR631000) report
This topic gives you information about the elements that you find in this window in Visma.net ERP, such as fields, field values, buttons, and check boxes.
You use this report to determine which documents are overdue for payment and for how
long.
The report shows all open documents recorded in the system, regardless of the
current business date or the date specified in the Ageing date
field in the report window.
That is, the report shows open customer ledger documents, even if they
are posted to periods later than the ageing date period.
The documents are grouped by
statement cycle and by customer, broken down by ageing periods.
The amounts are in
the base currency.
Calculating ageing periods
The system calculates ageing periods for this report based on the date you select in the Ageing date field on the Report parameters tab of this report form and on the statement cycle settings specified in the Statement cycles (AR202800) window as follows:
- If the Use financial periods for ageing 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 Due date column in the report) is the financial period of the Ageing date on the Report parameters tab.
- If the Use financial periods for ageing check box is cleared for the statement cycle, the system will show the aging periods that are specified in the statement cycle.
Ageing outstanding documents
The system distributes the open invoices, debit notes, and overdue charges over the financial periods or ageing periods depending on the statement cycle settings in the Statement cycles (AR202800) window:
- If Due date is selected in the Age based on field for the statement cycle, the system will compare the due dates of outstanding documents with the Ageing date date you specify in this report window. The overdue balances are grouped by the ageing periods or financial periods specified for the applicable statement cycle, while the balances that are not overdue are displayed in the Current column of the report.
- If Document date is selected in the Age based on field for the statement cycle, the system will compare the document dates of outstanding documents with the Ageing date date you specify in this report window. The balances of the documents with dates the same as or later than the ageing 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: About customer ledger ageing reports.
Ageing 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 in the Customer ledger preferences (AR101000)window.
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.
By default, the check box is cleared and the
credit amounts show up in the Current column.
See below for a description of each parameter on the Report parameters tab.
