Monthly Ageing on Customer Statements & Debtors Lists

Many of you call querying the ageing on your customer statements. In the situation here, we are dealing with ‘normal’ monthly ageing. If you have 7 day ageing or a combination of 7 day and 20th of the month following, we can also sort that to give correct reports/statements.

To correct your monthly ageing follow these steps below.

Check you have your terms of trade on the customer cards.

 

 

 

From the main menu choose Setup, Preferences then Reports & Forms.

Change to Daily Ageing and set the Periods according to the number of days per month as per the example.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Important note: Each month, before you run your statements you need to come to the screen above and alter the days according to the previous months.

Choose OK then run your statements – the ageing should be 100% correct for each customer statement but always print a couple and check.
