The Age Analysis Summary and Age Analysis Detail reports provide the primary means by which carrier/dealer account balances and aging amounts can be reviewed (aging can also be viewed in ). The total account balance will be divided into as many as 12 aging periods, including the current aging period.
Billing periods (see Bill Period in the Setup Manual). If aging is based on billing periods, an account charge will be in the current billing period from the time it is billed to the next billing date; then it will move to period 1. It will move to period 2 on the billing date after that, and so on.
The Aging Calendar (see Aging Calendar in the Setup Manual). If aging is based on age periods, an account charge will be in the current aging period from the time it is billed to the next aging date; then it will move to period 1. It will move to period 2 on the aging date after that, and so on.
A user-defined number of days (see Age Period in the Setup Manual). If aging is based on a user-defined number of days, a charge will be in the current aging group for the number of due days allowed in the carrier’s account terms (see Terms in the Setup Manual). After this, the charge will move to aging group 1 for the number of days defined for the first aging group, and so on.
For example, say an account draw charge of 160.00 is billed on 05/31, and the number of due days is 15 (or the 15th of the month). Also assume the paper bills again on 6/30. If aging is done by billing period, and the carrier does not pay this charge, it will be in the current aging group from 5/31 to 6/29, and will move to aging group 1 on 6/30. If aging is done by a user-defined number of days, and each aging group is, say, 20 days, the charge will be in the current aging group for 15 days (5/31- 6/14) and be in aging group 1 for 20 (6/15 - 7/4).
The Age Analysis Summary report provides a summary of account aging. Individual charges and credits are not shown, only totals for each aging period.
