Overview

  • Invoices are grouped by Outstanding (past the Invoice Issue Date) or by Overdue (past the Due Date) into intervals of 0-30 Days, 31-60 Days, 61-90 Days, and 90+ Days
  • Links to Invoices are only available when viewing with As Of - Today, changing the As Of to a date in the past or future will remove links to invoices
 

FAQs

Why is there an amount showing in one of the intervals but when I select it, the list is blank or the invoice is missing from the results?
This is likely because the invoice has a payment dated in the future. Future-dated payments will continue to show up on this report until the date of the payment has passed. To find this future-paid invoice, either:
  • On the list of results, adjust the Advanced Search filters by changing the Date Range to the future date of your payment, and remove Outstanding or Overdue from the Invoice Status field. Select Apply and your future-dated paid invoice should appear
  • Or select the Payments section and then select the Payment Date header to sort your list of payments in descending order to find your future-dated payment
