Aging Report
Also called: ageing report, aging analysis, ageing analysis
What is Aging Report?
An aging report groups outstanding invoices into buckets by how long they have been overdue — current, 1–30 days, 31–60, 61–90 and beyond. It exists for both receivables and payables.
Why Aging Report matters
A single total tells you how much is outstanding; the ageing tells you how worried to be. Recovery odds fall sharply with each bucket, which is why age matters more than amount.
Aging Report formula
Days overdue = Today − Invoice due date
Bucket every open invoice by that figure.
How Aging Report works in practice
Chase by bucket, starting with balances just past due where recovery is easiest. On the payables side, use the same report to pay to terms rather than to pressure.
