Printing the Aged Cash Requirements Report

The Aged Cash Requirements report highlights the cash amounts that will be required to meet obligations as they become due, including the amount needed to pay invoices that are overdue, current, and due in each of four future periods you define. Use the report for cash flow analysis and projections.

When to Print

Print the Aged Cash Requirements report when you need a listing of the amounts owed and when they are due, to assist you with cash-flow management, short-term planning, and budgeting.

To print the Aged Cash Requirements report:

1. Open Accounts Payable > A/P Transaction Reports >  Aged Cash Requirements.

2. Select from the following report options:

   • Age By. You can age outstanding documents or balances by their due dates or document dates.

   • Age As Of. Specify the date on which to report the payables. Accounts Payable uses this date to assign transactions to aging periods.

     For example, if you print the report aged by due date, the program assigns each transaction to an aging period by calculating the number of days between its due date and the Age As Of date.

   • Cutoff By. The report includes only transactions that have a document date that is on or before the cutoff date you specify. More...

     There are three methods for selecting a cutoff date:

     • Document Date. Select this option if you want to include documents based on their document date (regardless of the fiscal period to which you assigned them), and then enter a date in the Cutoff Date field.

       If you enter zeros for the month, day, and year, the report includes all transactions, regardless of date.

     • Posting Date. Select this option if you want to include documents based on their posting date, and then enter a date in the Cutoff Date field.

       If you enter zeros for the month, day, and year, the report includes all transactions, regardless of date.

     • Year/Period. Select this option if you want to include all transactions up to the end of a fiscal period, which you then specify in the Year/Period field.
   • Print Transactions In. Indicate whether to print a summary or detailed report, and whether to print the detailed version of the report with transactions ordered by document date (Detail by Date) or by document number (Detail by Document).
   • Sort Transactions by Transaction Type. Select this option if you want sort transactions by document type for each vendor on the report.

   • Use Aging Periods. The aging periods defined on the A/P Options screen appear as defaults, but you can assign different periods for this report.

     The aging periods are used to group transactions by the future dates at which they will become due, rather than by the amount of time they are overdue. All overdue amounts appear in the Overdue column on the report.

   • Select Vendors By. Specify up to four criteria to select the vendor accounts to list on the report. More...

     For the first selection criterion, you can select Vendor Number, Vendor Group, or Short Name.

     For the remaining three selection criteria, you can also choose from:

     • Account Set.
     • Vendor Balance.
     • Vendor Equivalent Balance. (multicurrency ledgers only)
     • Vendor Name.
     • Currency Code. (multicurrency ledgers only)
     • Start Date.
     • Vendor optional fields, if any.

     If you do not specify selection criteria, the report includes all vendor records.

   • Sort Vendors By. Specify up to four sort orders by which to organize records on the report. More...

     If you specify Vendor Group, Account Set, or a vendor optional field as the sorting criteria in a single currency ledger, or Account Set in a multicurrency ledger, an additional subtotal line appears at the bottom of your report.

     If you want to include subtotals (for a single currency company) or subtotals by currency (for a multicurrency company), select Vendor Group or Account Set as the primary sort order.

     If you do not specify sorting criteria, the report orders the records by vendor number.

   • Title. If you want to include a title for each sorted group, select the Title check box for each group of records you are sorting by.
   • Total. If you want to include subtotals for each sorted group, select the Total check box for the groups of records you are sorting by.
   • [Include] Contact/Phone/Credit. Select this option if you want to list the vendor's contact person and phone number and your credit limit for the vendor.
   • [Include] Space For Comments. Select this option if you want to leave blank space at the end of each vendor record for your notes.
   • [Include] Vendors/Transactions on Hold. Choose this option to include vendors that you have placed on hold in the Vendors screen, and transactions that you have placed on hold in the Control Payments folder.
   • [Include] All Available Discounts. Select this option if you want the program to calculate amounts owing by taking advantage of all available discounts.

   • Select Transaction Types. Select the types of transactions to include on the report. You can include any or all of the transaction types listed.

     Note: If you clear the Adjustments check box, adjustments can still appear as applied details on the documents that payment was applied to. If you select the Adjustments check box, adjustments can appear as both applied details and regular documents.

   • [Show] Applied Details. Select this option if you want to include all the documents such as payments and credit notes that were applied to each reported invoice. If you do not select this option, the report shows only the balance owing for each outstanding document.
   • [Show] Fully Paid Transactions. Select this option if you want to list documents that are fully paid, but not yet cleared from Accounts Payable.

   • [Show] Aged Retainage. Select this option if you want to include retainage documents with taxes on the report.

     This option is not available if you are aging documents by document date.

   • Print Amounts In. Use this option to select the currency for the report. You can list transaction amounts in the vendor currency or the functional currency.
   • If you list transactions in the functional currency, and you have performed a revaluation, the report shows the new functional amounts.

3. Click Print.

   • If you are printing to a printer, the Print window appears. Confirm your printer selection and the number of copies to print, and then click OK. Otherwise, click Cancel or Setup.
   • If you are printing to a file, the Export Report window appears. Specify a name and location for the file, and then click Save.
   • If you are printing to the screen (Preview), the report appears in a new window. You can print the report or export it to a file.
   • If you are printing to e-mail, an e-mail message appears with the report attached.
