Age Analysis Options:

 

Age Analysis Method

Default End of Month

Month-Based Periods

Select Month if your statement periods do not follow calendar months. This is useful if you send customer statements on a specific day each month.

Example:

If today is August 27th and your Default Statement Date is the 25th, your periods will be:

Current: July 26 – August 25

30 Days: June 26 – July 25

60 Days: May 26 – June 25

(And so on...)

 

Calendar Month

Select Calendar Month if you work with full calendar months (this is the most commonly used option).

Your Default Statement Date will have no effect when using this option.

When printing your Age Analysis, select the last date of the month (e.g., August 31).

All transactions from August will then be categorized as Current.
