Question 1

What is an AP aging report?

Accepted Answer

A view of all unpaid supplier bills grouped by how overdue they are. It shows total exposure per supplier and flags payments at risk of souring a relationship.

Question 2

How should I use it to schedule payments?

Accepted Answer

Clear the oldest bills first to protect supplier goodwill and credit terms, and time the rest against your cash position. Bills not yet due can often wait until close to the due date.

Question 3

Should I pay early if a supplier offers a discount?

Accepted Answer

Often yes — the Payment Terms calculator on this site shows the annualized return of taking an early-payment discount, which frequently beats keeping the cash in the bank.
