Aged Trial Balance

An Aged Trial Balance is a listing of customer's A/R balances aged over a time frame so that you can see what is overdue. It can be printed anytime, for any date range. When entering in deposits and the effective date for the one or more of the items being  flagged as paid has an effective date that is later than the deposit date, then flag the entries as being paid the higher of the 2 dates instead of always using the deposit date.  This enables back dated A/R trial balances to report the transaction correctly. The report is based on the aging set in Company A/R Entry Options.

The XLS-10 Day Aging spreadsheet is designed to be used with those customers/owners that are designated as open item. If using the XLS-10 Day Aging Spreadsheet and the customer is a balance forward customer with an outstanding balance, the customer will have a note that their amount is not aged due to being a balance forward customer.

Treat All Accounts as Balance Fwd Accounts.

This gives you the option to list each Open Item customer’s outstanding invoices by individual invoice or summarize the invoices into one line.

In this first example, I am running a Historical Listing. My Open Item customers will be at the top of the report. They will show one line per Open Invoice, with a total underneath. Next, my Balance Forward customers will be reported. They will have one line per customer.

But what if I wanted a summary report with just one line per customer, regardless if they are Open Item or Balance Forward? I could either check the box “Treat All Accounts as Balance Fwd Accounts” or uncheck the Print Detail for Open Item box; then, run my report again.
