Overview

This report is a copy of the standard AR Aging report, but this links to the Outstanding Customer Invoices report. There are a couple of key differences between the AR Aging report and the Outstanding Customer Invoices report. Specifically:

  • The Aging report filters out records that summarize to zero if these records also do so on the lowest drill-down level (that is, records that do not add to the balance on any level of detail). On the Outstanding report, such records are included because they add value and insight.
  • The Aging report may also list payments made without a corresponding invoice, while the Outstanding report does not because it concentrates on invoices and credit memos. For example, if a payment is made by a customer in the General Journal even if there is no customer invoice, that payment will appear in the Aging report as a negative balance but is filtered out in the Outstanding report. However, if that same payment is reconciled against an invoice, the Outstanding report will list the invoice and the reconciled amount as the paid amount.
Note: While this report was created primarily to address an Australian statutory requirement, it can also be utilized by companies from other countries. Reach out to Consulting or Customer Care for more information.
