- If invoice has multiple payment plan lines, each line has it's own due date.
- If there exists payments against the invoice, only those ones which are in a not confirmed status as of the date of the date filter are considered for this report.

Two menu entries are created. One for Receivables, called Receivables Aging Inquiry, and another one for Payables, Payables Aging Inquiry.
These two reports can be found in the following application path: Financial Management // Receivables & Payables // Analysis Tools
Multi-currency
This report supports multicurrency.
- Invoices: If the exchange rate exists at document level then the amount is calculated based on this value, if it doesn't exist then the rate is taken at client level (Conversion Rates window)
Filters
- Organization (Mandatory).
- General Ledger (Mandatory). The user can filter the results by organization's general ledger. All the amounts will be converted to the currency of the general ledger.
- As of Date (Mandatory). This is the date as of wich the report will be processed. Past due dates and payment dates will be calculated based on this date.
- Business Partners (Optional). The user can select multiple Business Partners to filter the results.

The user can enter the ending day for each range, and then, the application will automatically modify the beginning day for the next ranges. For example. In the first range the user enters 16, the range is now 0 - 16. Then the application modifies the beginning day for the next range, so it starts now at day 17, and modifies the other ranges accordingly.

- Business partner. A business partner with pending receivables. This is also a link to the detailed version of the report for this Business Partner.
- Current. A sum of all the current debts the business partner has with the organization that are not due as of the date selected.
- First day range. The amount the business partner owes the organization that is due, and it's due date is between the range.
- Second day range. Same as above.
- Third day range. Same as above.
- Fourth day range. Same as above.
- Fifht day range. Same as above.
- Total. Current + All the amounts of the day ranges
- Credits. Amount of money that the business partner has left as credit, to be used later. The amount is between brackets because it must be subtracted when calculating the totals.
- Net. Total - - Credit of the Business Partner.
If the credits are posted in the same account as the Receivables, then the Net would match the balance of the Business Partner. If the credits are posted in a different account, such as prepayments, then the balance of the Business Partner would match with the Total.
If the Show Doubtful Debt check is selected, two more fields are shown.
- Doubtful Debt. The amount classified as Doubtful Debt for that particular Business Partner.
- Percentage. The percentage that represents the Doubtful Debt over the Net Debt of that particular Business Partner.
Also, when Show Doubtful Debt is selected, the Total amount is the sum of all the debts that are not doubtful. Therefore, the Net is Total + Doubtful - Credits
