The receivables aging report gives you the ability to view open receivables in a bucketed, time-phased perspective. An open item is recognized by the receivables aging report as-of the item's document or distribution date, depending on your preference. In the case of invoices, the document date is the invoice date. The distribution date is the date the invoice shows up in the general ledger (G/L). For example, if you post an invoice on January 1, but the invoice date is February 15, then the as-of document date will be February 15. This means, if you run the receivables aging report with an as-of document date in January, the open item with an invoice date of February 15 will not appear in the report. In fact, it will not appear in the report until an as-of document date of February 15 or later is specified. Conversely, using the distribution date option, the invoice would appear as-of January 1.
You can view the document date for an open item by right-clicking on a line in the Receivables Aging display. You can also find open item details on other screens—for example, Receivables workbench, customer history, open items by customer, etc.
The grouping of open items into time-phased buckets is driven by a document's due date. In other words, if a due date falls within 0-30 days of the as-of date specified when the report is run, then the open item will appear in the first bucket. If the due date falls 31-60 days past the specified as-of date, then the open item will appear in the second bucket. And so on. But again, keep in mind that the document date for an open receivable (e.g., invoice date) must be on or before the specified as-of date for the item to be recognized by the report. To view open receivables from an aging perspective, go to . The following screen will appear:
