How to Use the Aged Receivables Report in AutoGMS

Learn how to use the Aged Receivables Report in AutoGMS to track unpaid invoices, overdue customers, and improve cash collection.

How to Use the Aged Receivables Report in AutoGMS

The Aged Receivables Report in AutoGMS shows all outstanding customer invoices and organizes them based on how long they have been unpaid.

While:

  • Profit & Loss shows profitability
  • Cash Flow shows money movement

The Aged Receivables report shows who still owes you money and for how long.

This report is essential for:

  • Monitoring unpaid invoices
  • Managing overdue customers
  • Protecting your cash flow
  • Reducing bad debt risk

In this guide, you will learn how to read each tab and use the report effectively.

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

At the top of the report, you will see:

Total Outstanding

The total amount customers currently owe.

This includes:

  • Invoiced receivables (formal invoices issued)
  • Uninvoiced receivables (completed but not yet formally invoiced)

This distinction is important because uninvoiced work still impacts your cash flow.

You will also see:

  • Current (0–30 Days)
  • Over 90 Days (critical receivables)

Understanding the Aging Analysis Tab

The Aging Analysis tab breaks receivables into time buckets:

  • Current (0–30 days)
  • 1–30 Days Past Due
  • 31–60 Days Past Due
  • 61–90 Days Past Due
  • Over 90 Days Past Due

Each row shows:

  • Total amount
  • Number of invoices
  • Percentage of total receivables

This helps you quickly identify payment risk.

If a large percentage falls under 60+ or 90+ days, immediate follow-up is recommended.

Important Notes

  • Aging is calculated based on the Invoice Date.
  • The report includes both formal invoices and uninvoiced completed bookings.

  • When cash flow is tight

Strong receivables management directly improves liquidity.
