Customer aging graph
The Customer aging graph illustrates the number of days customer AR sales invoices have aged before they were paid. You can use several types of graphs to visually track how often customers paid their AR sales invoices by time period, account, customer, and more. Use this graph for a visual representation of the Customer aging report as a bar, line, pie, or other graph format.

Set report filters
Use filters to focus the results of your report. Filters allow you to only view a specific set of data. You can use any combination of filters to achieve the desired results.
For example, might filter report results by customer name, type, or sales territory.
- To set the report to show results for a specific customer or range of customers, choose from the From customer and To customer dropdown lists.
- From the From dropdown list, select the object you want.
- From the To dropdown list, select the same object.
- From the From dropdown list, select the object that you want at the beginning of the range.
- From the To dropdown list, select the object that you want at the end of the range.
- To show results for a specific customer type, select Customer type dropdown, and choose the type.
- To show results for a specific sales territory, enter the name of the territory in the Territory field or select the icon and choose the territory from the list.
All From and To field pairs work the same way. Use them to get search results in as broad or as fine a range as you need, from everything in the system down to a single specific object.
To run this report for a single object:
To run this report for a specific range of objects:
To run this report for all objects:
Leave both fields blank.
If you have a large number of objects or the report takes too long to process, use the From and To fields to run a series of smaller reports. For example, you can run five reports, one each for objects whose names begin with A-E, then F-J, K-O, P-T, and U-Z.
An object is a catch-all term that refers to any specific data item in the system. Customers, suppliers, items, and accounts are all examples of objects.
In a multi-entity environment, you can filter by location, department, or both.
-
To filter the report by geographic location, either enter the name of the region, country, state or territory, or city in the Location dropdown list. Or, select the location from the list.
Enter or select a location if you want to run this report at the top level. The system uses the location that you specify to determine the appropriate currency.
- To filter the report by department within the company, enter the name of the department in the Department dropdown list. Or, select the department from the list.
-
If you want the report to cover certain locations regardless of what's selected in the Location dropdown list, use the Show for dropdown list to select the locations for the report:
- All locations: To include data for all locations regardless of the entity that you're currently using.
- This location: To include data only for the entity that you're currently using.
- Child locations: To include data only for the locations that are child locations of your current entity. For example, if your current entity is California, and you have child locations for San Francisco and Los Angeles, use this option to have the report include data only for Los Angeles and California.
The following table describes each item in the Filters section of this report settings page:
| Filters | Notes |
|---|---|
|
From customer, To customer |
Enables you to get data only for that specific customer or range of customers. By default these boxes are blank, which means the report will get results for all customers. |

|
Territory |
Enables you to select a specific territory if you organize your sales geographically. You can also select predefined groups of territories. For example, you can select the group US TERR, which includes WEST and EAST. The report will include the data only for the territories you selected. |
|
Individual report |
Select this option if you want each entity or department and/or territory to have its own report page. Due to their potentially large size, reports with departments and locations on individual pages can be run offline only. Therefore, if you select the Individual report option, you can select only Process and store. |

- Select Totals to display the total amounts due for the selected aging period.
- Select Show top to display only customers whose aged amounts fall within a specified range. You must also specify the range in the Customer range from and To customer fields. For example, suppose you have five customers with the following aged amounts:
