Supplier Aging report
The Supplier Aging report shows a list of suppliers to whom you owe or owed money and either how many days it took you to pay them or how many days past due your payment is. Use this report to determine how well you are paying your accounts payable.
Assuming the standard aging periods of 0-30, 31-60, 61-90 and 91-120 days, you see columns for each of these aging periods. For example, if a supplier payment is late (66 days past due), you will see that amount in the 61-90 column.
You can create additional aging periods if the standard ones do not fit your business needs.
- Finance managers who need to spot and correct problems in the management of payables early enough to protect their business's trade credit established with this supplier.
- Finance managers who need to manage and improve their business's cash flow. The Accounts Payable report gives them a good indication of the amount of cash needed to cover their expenses by comparing what their expenses were during the same period last year.
For information on terms that may differ in your location, see Terminology across locales.

An accounts payable aging report looks similar to an accounts receivable aging report. However, instead of showing the amounts your customers owe you, it shows the amounts you owe your suppliers. Most businesses run an accounts payable report at the end of each month.
Customize and run this report
Before running the report, you can select the time period and types of items to include as well as specify how you want the report to appear.
Every box on this page is optional. That means you can run this report without entering any search criteria. If you do that, however, the report might take a long time to run and might return too many results to be useful. If you want to see every result for a particular category, do not make selections from any of the data entry boxes.
To customize and run a report:
- The Reporting Currency section appears only for multi-entity shared, global consolidation companies. Select the currency from the Reporting currency dropdown menu, and then select either Base currency or Transaction currency, depending on whether you want to convert the amounts from the base currency of each entity or from the transaction currency of each AP supplier invoice.
- Select the reporting period from the dropdown menu, or enter the date by which you want aging to be calculated. If you do not specify a reporting period, the report is generated as of today, based on the AP supplier invoice date.
- Set the filters to get the specific data you want.
- Filters enable you to include or exclude specific types of data in the report, such as supplier and supplier type. As a general rule, to get fewer and more precise results in your report, set more filters.
- Format the report.
- Format options will vary from report to report. Generally, you can set the layout of the report and arrange how to group and display the data contained in the report.
You can customize the detailed report to show only the dates you need with the Dates to display option.
- Type a title, subtitle, and footer text for your report.
- To view, print, process, add to the dashboard, memorize, export, or customize the report, select one of the following:

You can use the standard aging report to show AP supplier invoices that are coming due instead of what's already due. Enter the aging groups using descending values, for example 60-31,30-1,0,1-30,31-60. The groups that appear below the zero will contain AP supplier invoices that aren’t due yet.
After you run the report, you can also either email the report to others or return to the report setup page to refine the results.

Specify the reporting currency
If your entities use different base currencies and you are running the report at the top level, you'll see options to select the reporting currency. These settings, along with the Exchange rate type that you select in the Filters section, determine how transactions amounts are converted for aging amounts and totals.
- In the Reporting currency section, select a Reporting currency from the dropdown list.When you run the report without a location, you must select a reporting currency. When reporting on a single entity, reporting currency is optional. Sage Intacct uses the base currency of the entity as the reporting currency if you leave the field blank.
- For Convert currency from, select either Base currency or Transaction currency to indicate how you want the transaction amount to be converted for calculations. Do you plan to run the Supplier aging report at both the top level and entity level and then compare them? If so, set Convert Currency from to Transaction currency when you run the top-level report.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
|
Reporting currency |
Aging amounts and total display using the Reporting currency. Reporting currency is required for top-level reports in multiple base currency companies when no location is selected. If you select a location, you can choose a reporting currency or leave it blank to use the base currency of the entity as a default. The currencies that appear in this menu are those that were configured for your organization in the Company setup.
|
|
Convert currency from |
Your selection can produce different reporting amounts due to exchange rate differences. The default selection is to convert currency from base currency to produce a consolidated view of the aging report.
|
Time period
You can adjust the time period, supplier type, and other details to meet your reporting needs. For example, you might prefer listing the outstanding amounts by due date rather than AP supplier invoice date.
To specify the time period for the report:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
|
Aging periods |
Select the Aging periods down arrow, and then select the period you want. You can edit existing and create additional aging periods for your company in the Aging section of Accounts Payable configuration (Accounts Payable > > Configuration). |
|
Report as of |
Select either Today or Select date for the Report as of date (the date to use as a baseline for the period you select). Date. If you chose Selected Date, then you must specify the date in the Date to use box. |
|

Report filters
The following table describes each item in the Filters section of this report settings page:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
|
Supplier selection |
Range: This option lets you set the report to show results for a specific supplier or range of suppliers with the From supplier and To supplier dropdowns. By default these boxes are blank, which means the report will get results for all suppliers. With this option, you can choose to Include child suppliers in your filter results. How to use the From and To fields
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. Multiple suppliers: This option lets you add multiple suppliers and ranges of suppliers the filter list to better target your report results. Supplier group: This option lets you filter for all suppliers within a particular supplier group. |
|
Supplier type |
Enables you to get data only for the type of supplier you specify here. By default this box is blank, which means the report will get results for all supplier types. Communications and contractor are two examples of supplier types. |
|
Transaction currency |
Available in multi-currency environments, this field filters determines which transactions to include based on the transaction currency that they use. For example, if you want to review supplier aging for AP supplier invoices created in British pounds only, select GBP as the transaction currency. If you do not select a Transaction currency, the report includes transactions created in any currency. |
|
Exclude Credit Card Transactions from report |
Enable this option to run the reports without including credit card transactions that have posted to AP but don’t have a payoff associated yet. This helps ensure that the supplier aging report ties properly to the AP GL account. |
|
Exchange rate type |
Select which exchange rate to use for transactions that are not in your base currency. This field uses the base amount for a transaction. If you do not select an Exchange rate type, Intacct uses the transaction amount. If you know what the exchange rate should be for this AP supplier invoice or have contracted a set rate with the supplier, you can type it into Exchange rate. Otherwise, the exchange rate is generated automatically when the occurrence of the AP supplier invoice is generated. The default is Intacct Daily Rate. You can add the exchange rates you want to appear on this dropdown menu ( Company > All > Setup > Multi-currency > Exchange rates). If your company uses custom exchange rate types, the Exchange rate type dropdown list contains choices for them, where one might also be a default. For example, your company could have Monthly, Weekly and Spot rate types along with their various exchange rates. Alternatively, if your company has not defined any custom exchange rate types, you can use the Intacct Daily Rate. |
|
Location |
Enables you to limit report results to a specific location. To filter the report by geographic location, type the name of the region, country, state or territory, or city in the Location box, or select the down arrow, and then select the location you want from the list that appears. Only appears for multi-currency, multi-entity companies. You must enter or select a location if you want to run this report at the top level. The location you specify determines the appropriate currency.
|
|
Department |
Enables you to limit report results to a specific department. To filter the report by department within the company, type the name of the department in the Department box, or select the down arrow and then, from the list that appears, select the department you want. Only appears for multi-currency, multi-entity companies. |
|
Individual report |
Select this checkbox if you want each entity or department and/or location 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. |
|
Prompt on run |
Select this checkbox to require you (or anyone using this report) to enter an entity or location and department before the report will run. |
|
Show for |
Enables you to display transactions for certain locations regardless of the location selected in the Location dropdown. All locations: show transactions for all locations within the location specified in the Location box. This location: show transactions for the entity's location within the location specified in the Location box. Child locations: shows transactions only for areas subordinate to the location of your entity. Example: Suppose your location is United States > California > San Francisco. All locations would show transactions for United States, California, and San Francisco. This location would show transactions for United States. Child locations would show transactions for California and San Francisco only. |

When do transactions drop off of an aging report?
There are several reasons that a transaction no longer appears on an aging report. When you run the report, you’ll no longer see transaction if:
- the aging due date is reached for the transaction (for example, dropping off a 0-30 day report on day 31)
- the AP supplier invoice is paid
- a credit or advance is applied to the AP supplier invoice
- the AP supplier invoice is deleted or reversed
