Use this window to generate the Aging Report, which prints a list of accounts showing the age of the debit transactions. Using the subtotals on the Aging Report, you can analyze your outstanding balances. To age the Accounts Receivable transactions, the report first adds the debits into the appropriate columns based on date. Then the program processes the credits for each account, subtracting them from the oldest aging column first. Finally, if you choose to age credit balance accounts, the surplus credit transactions are aged based on date.
You can control the headings on the report by specifying up to six aging range categories, such as 0 - 60 days, 61 - 120 days, etc. Set up these aging ranges using the Subsidiary Control window.
Select the subsidiary group for which the Aging Report is to be run.
|
A subsidiary group is simply a list of subsidiary control accounts consisting of as few as one or as many as all of your control accounts. |
Update the date if needed. The default is today's date.
|
The transactions are aged from this date. |
Select this checkbox to include student accounts with a credit balance on the report. The surplus credit transactions are totaled to the appropriate column based on the date.
