How do you run Accounts Receivable aging and Accounts Payable aging reports?

Explanation:
Aging reports show how long outstanding invoices and bills have remained unpaid, so you can manage collections and processor payments. To run them, open Reports and select the specific aging for each side: for receivables choose Customers & Receivables and then A/R Aging; for payables choose Suppliers & Payables and then A/P Aging. Then set the date range (the as-of date) to determine the aging as of that point in time. This pairing gives you the detailed aging breakdown for both customers and vendors. Other options don’t provide the aging detail: a cash flow statement covers cash movements, a profit & loss shows profitability, and the dashboard aging widget is just a quick snapshot rather than full aging reports.
