# AR aging report: analyze overdue receivables by bucket

> View and export your accounts receivable aging by time bucket — current, 1–30, 31–60, 61–90, and 90+ days — directly from the Daylit dashboard.

## 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**.

## 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.

<Steps>
  <Step title="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.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open a customer profile">
    Click any customer row to open their full profile, including invoice-level aging detail, payment history, and active AI signals.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Viewing aging history and trends

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.

<Steps>
  <Step title="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.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Adjust the time range">
    Use the range selector to view the last 30, 60, or 90 days of history.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Exporting an aging report

You can export your aging report as a PDF or CSV for sharing with your finance team, auditors, or investors. Click **Export** in the top-right corner of the AR Aging tab to generate your report.
