The AR aging report groups your outstanding invoices by how long they have been outstanding, giving you an immediate picture of which receivables are at risk of going uncollected. Instead of scanning through individual invoices, you can see the full shape of your receivables portfolio — and identify trouble spots — in a single view.

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. Aging reports let you track this progression so you can prioritize collection efforts before balances become difficult to recover. Daylit uses five standard aging buckets:
BucketWhat it contains
CurrentInvoices not yet past their due date
1–30 daysInvoices 1 to 30 days past due
31–60 daysInvoices 31 to 60 days past due
61–90 daysInvoices 61 to 90 days past due
90+ daysInvoices more than 90 days past due
Each bucket shows the total dollar amount and the percentage of your total AR that falls into it. The 90+ bucket is the highest-risk segment: balances here are significantly more likely to result in bad debt.

Viewing the aging summary

The aging summary appears on the main dashboard as a donut chart with five segments — one per bucket. Hover over any segment to see the dollar amount and percentage for that bucket. To see the full aging report with per-customer detail:
1

Open the AR Aging tab

From the dashboard, select the AR Aging tab in the left navigation. The summary view loads with your current aging snapshot and key metrics including total AR, total customers with balances, and weighted average AR age.
2

Review the summary metrics

At the top of the page, you’ll see your aging distribution across all five buckets, along with supporting metrics like days beyond payment terms and overdue count. These figures reflect the most recent data snapshot.

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.
1

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. Each row shows the customer’s balance in each aging bucket.
2

Filter by bucket or risk level

Use the filter controls above the table to narrow results to a specific aging bucket (for example, show only customers with balances in the 90+ bucket) or to a specific AI risk level (high, medium, or low).
3

Open a customer profile

Click any customer row to open their full profile, including invoice-level aging detail, payment history, and active AI signals.
Daylit stores a daily aging snapshot each time your accounting integration syncs. You can use these snapshots to see how your receivables have shifted over time.
1

Open the trend chart

On the AR Aging summary page, click the trend icon next to any metric (such as total AR or 90+ days percentage) to open a historical trend chart for that metric.
2

Adjust the time range

Use the range selector to view the last 30, 60, or 90 days of history. You can also switch between daily, weekly, and monthly intervals for a higher-level or more granular view.
3

Interpret the trend

A rising 90+ days line signals that more receivables are aging into the high-risk bucket — a cue to escalate collection efforts. A rising current percentage line signals improving portfolio health.
The top customer history chart overlays your largest customer’s balance over time, making it easy to spot when a single account is driving changes in your overall aging profile.

Available dates: viewing historical snapshots

Daylit takes a dated snapshot of your AR aging each day it syncs with your accounting system. You can navigate back to any previous snapshot date to see exactly what your aging looked like on that day.
1

Open the date selector

In the AR Aging tab, click the Report date dropdown at the top of the page. The dropdown lists every date for which a snapshot is available.
2

Select a date

Choose any available date to load that day’s aging summary and customer-level detail. The page updates to reflect the data as it existed on the selected date.
3

Return to the current snapshot

To go back to today’s data, select the most recent date in the list or click the Latest option.
Available dates are determined by when your accounting integration has synced successfully. If no sync occurred on a given day, that date will not appear in the selector.

Exporting an aging report

You can export your aging report as a PDF or CSV for sharing with your finance team, auditors, or investors.
1

Open the export dialog

From the AR Aging tab, click Export in the top-right corner of the page. A preview of the report opens, showing the aging summary and customer breakdown as they will appear in the export.
2

Choose your format

Select PDF to download a formatted report suitable for printing or sharing, or CSV to download the raw data for further analysis in a spreadsheet.
3

Download the file

Click Download to save the file to your device. The exported report reflects the currently selected report date — so if you have a historical date selected, the export will contain that date’s data.

Data freshness

All aging data is sourced from your connected accounting integration and recalculated after each successful sync. The report date badge on the AR Aging page shows when the current snapshot was last calculated. If a sync is in progress, the page continues to display the most recent completed snapshot until the new one is ready.
