Aging Report
A report showing outstanding invoices categorized by how long they have been unpaid.
Definition
An AP aging report lists all unpaid invoices grouped by age buckets: current, 1-30 days past due, 31-60 days, 61-90 days, and 90+ days. It provides visibility into payment performance, helps prioritize payments, and identifies process bottlenecks or disputes.
Why It Matters
Aging reports reveal payment performance at a glance. A growing 90+ day bucket signals process problems, disputes, or cash flow issues that need attention before vendor relationships deteriorate.
Examples
Weekly aging review
AP manager reviews aging showing $50K current, $20K at 30 days, $8K at 60 days, and $2K at 90+ days. The 90+ items are investigated.
Vendor-specific aging
A key supplier shows $15,000 at 45 days past due. AP prioritizes resolving the hold for the next payment run.
