# Reading the A/R aging report

The A/R aging report shows what each customer still owes you, broken into buckets by how overdue the balance is. The buckets are Current (not yet past due), 1-30 days, 31-60 days, 61-90 days, and 90+ days past due, plus a Total per customer.

Anything past Current counts as overdue; the 61-90 and 90+ columns are styled in red because that's your oldest, hardest-to-collect debt. The summary tiles at the top give you Total outstanding, Overdue (1+ days), Over 60 days, and the number of accounts carrying a balance.

The "Top overdue accounts" widget ranks by balance that's 60+ days past due, which is deliberately not the same as who owes the most overall, so a customer with a large but current balance won't dominate it. Use the All accounts / Overdue only toggle to hide customers who are fully current.

One important thing to understand: this report is an as-of-today snapshot, not a range. The header states the "as of" date, shown in your business's timezone, and every balance and bucket is computed as of that moment.

It reflects open invoices right now, so the picture changes as invoices are paid or age into the next bucket. You can sort any column and export the view to CSV.

> **Where to find it:** Reports, then the "A/R by customer (aging)" report. The header shows the "as of" date; the table breaks each balance into aging buckets.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://learn.withessential.com/reporting-and-integrations/reporting/reading-the-a-r-aging-report.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
