šAged Debtors - A Summary - Part 1
This article gives an overview of the Aged Debtors feature.
What are Aged Debtors?
The Aged Debtors feature, the first phase of a new account charges and payments system, allows users to generate reports on outstanding account debts categorized by industry-standard aging brackets:
-
Currently Owing
-
30 Days Owing
-
60 Days Owing
-
90+ Days Owing
This feature introduces a new "Aged Debtors" reporting view within the Account List and a new tab in the account maintenance window. Both provide a summary of outstanding balances based on the age of each charge.
