Xero Accounts Receivable Aging Report

The Accounts Receivable Aging Report in Xero can keep track of all unpaid invoices for your small business.

The accounts receivable aging report shows the details of each customer invoice with the number of days the unpaid invoice is overdue.

The actions that you and/or any small business owner can take immediately after reviewing the report may involve the overdue invoices and the invoices with due dates that are about to pass.

For invoices with due date that has not passed but is about to pass:

• Manually send an email to your customer a few days before the invoice is due.
• Set up an email to be sent automatically to your customer a few days before the invoice is due.

For invoices with due date that has already passed:

• Manually send an email to your customer who has an overdue invoice.
• Set up a few automated emails. The first email is to be sent automatically to your customer who has an invoice that is overdue for a certain number of days. Another follow-up email is set to be automatically sent after another few days if the invoice has not been paid.
• A more direct approach is to directly call/phone your customer and remind him/her about any unpaid invoices.

The accounts receivable aging report should give you the ability and insights to forecast and plan.

When you review your accounts receivable aging report on a weekly basis, you will be able to:

• Show trends on how long it has taken your customers to make payments (after you have delivered services).
• Forecast incoming cash flow based on the past incoming flow.
