Understanding the report

The report generated will be made up of 7 columns:

• Customer - this is the customer that has an outstanding balance.
• Balance - the total amount of money this customer is due you.
• Current - the amount of money that the customer is due you, but not overdue.
• Prior month 1/2/3 - the amount of money the customer is due you from these periods.
• Older - the amount of money the customer is due from more than three months ago.

The totals are displayed at the bottom.  You can print this report and also download it in a CSV format using the buttons at the top of the screen.

Troubleshooting

If you've noticed that your aged debtors report doesn't agree with overdue invoices then it's likely that there is an advanced payment on the customers account.  This is negated against any outstanding amount on the customers account.  You can view advanced payments on account by going to Customers > Selecting the Customer > Invoice Stats Etc > View the advanced payment section.
