Purpose
Jobin (AR manager) at Acme Corporation uses the AR aging report to see where overdue balance is concentrating and which customers are driving bucket movement. The AR aging report focuses effort where it matters most. By seeing historical aging trends alongside AI risk levels, Jobin (AR manager) catches deteriorating payment behavior before it becomes bad debt. Example: Jobin (AR manager) notices the 61–90 days bucket spiked compared to last month. He drills in and finds Mesa Valley Construction and Redwood Chemical Supply — both with broken payment promises — driving the increase. He follows up via Next Step and excludes Sterling Logistics (contract dispute) from the baseline program.Flowchart
What AR aging means
Every open invoice starts as “current” — meaning it is not yet past its due date. Once a due date passes, the invoice moves into an aging bucket based on how many days overdue it is. The longer an invoice sits unpaid, the harder it typically is to collect. Daylit uses five standard aging buckets:| Bucket | What it contains |
|---|---|
| Current | Invoices not yet past their due date |
| 1–30 days | Invoices 1 to 30 days past due |
| 31–60 days | Invoices 31 to 60 days past due |
| 61–90 days | Invoices 61 to 90 days past due |
| 90+ days | Invoices more than 90 days past due |
Viewing aging details per customer
The aging detail view breaks down each customer’s outstanding balance by aging bucket, so you can see exactly which accounts are driving overdue exposure.Scroll to the customer table
Below the summary chart, the per-customer aging table lists every customer with an open balance, sorted by total AR descending.
Filter by bucket or risk level
Use the filter controls above the table to narrow results to a specific aging bucket or to a specific AI risk level (risky, watch, or healthy).
