How to Use the Aged Payables Report in AutoGMS

The Aged Payables Report in AutoGMS shows all outstanding vendor bills and organizes them based on how long they have been unpaid.

While the Aged Receivables report shows who owes you money, the Aged Payables report shows who you owe money to.

This report helps you:

• Monitor unpaid supplier bills

• Maintain strong vendor relationships
• Manage outgoing cash flow

In this guide, you will learn how to read each section of the Aged Payables report and use it effectively.

What the Aged Payables Report Shows at a Glance (Summary Tab)

The Summary tab gives you a quick overview of your vendor obligations.

You will see:

The total amount you currently owe to vendors.

You will also see aging highlights such as:

• Over 90 Days (Critical Payables)

If a large portion of payables falls into the 60+ or 90+ days category, immediate attention may be required.

The Aging Analysis tab groups unpaid vendor bills into time buckets:

• Current (Not Due)
• 1–30 Days Past Due
• 31–60 Days Past Due
• 61–90 Days Past Due

Each row displays:

• Total amount
• Number of bills
• Percentage of total payables

This allows you to understand how overdue your supplier payments are.
