AAP aging report is the exact opposite
[28]
of the AR aging report which we covered
[30]
in the previous lesson the AP aging
[33]
report provides a list of unpaid vendors
[35]
that you owe in order for this report to
[37]
work you must set up the payment terms
[39]
your suppliers have extended to you in
[41]
QuickBooks and the setting up your
[43]
vendors lesson we walk through step by
[45]
step how to set up payment terms click
[47]
here to access this tutorial similar to
[51]
the AR aging report the ap aging report
[53]
provides you with the payments that you
[55]
have coming up with this information you
[59]
can determine how much cash you will
[61]
need to meet your obligations it is
[64]
important to pay the suppliers who
[65]
extend you credit on time so that you
[68]
can maintain a good payment history
[69]
doing so can also open the door for you
[72]
to increase the current credit amount
[74]

rating click here to read our article on
[83]
business credit rating here you will
[86]
find our ap aging report for our
[88]
fictitious company paul's plumbing we will
[91]
review paul's ap aging report to help
[93]
demonstrate the components starting with
[96]
the date similar to the balance sheet
[99]
the AP report is as of a specific date
[102]
in this example this ap aging summary
[105]
report is as of September 30th 2016 item
[110]
number two shows the aging categories
[113]
this report is organized by vendor and
[116]
then by five different aging buckets
[119]
similar to the AR aging report the
[122]
current column indicates invoices that
[125]
are not yet do beginning with the 1 to
[127]
30 day column each category represents
[129]
the number of days your invoices
[132]
our past you if you're having difficulty
[135]
meeting your obligations in a timely
[137]
manner pick up the phone and call your
[139]
supplier chances are they will be happy
[142]
to extend you some additional time to
[144]
pay your bills
[144]
in addition most of them will take a
[147]
partial payment or set up some type of
[149]
payment plan for you the worst thing
[152]
that you can do is not communicate with
[154]
them at all
[155]
totals by group is indicated here in
[158]
section 3 a good rule of thumb is to
[161]
make sure that the majority of your
[163]
outstanding payables stays within the
[165]
first three columns it should be a rare
[167]
occasion that you have something
[168]
creeping to the 61 and over categories
[171]
if you do be sure to address it as
[173]
quickly as you can with your supplier
[176]
you can run an AP aging report pretty
[179]
quickly in QuickBooks from the home page
[182]
you want to navigate to the report
[183]
Center by clicking on reports make sure
[188]
that you are on the recommended tab and
[190]
then go ahead and click on ap aging
[193]
summary from this screen we have several
[196]
options to choose from when running this
[198]
report starting with reporting period
[201]
you want to select the reporting period
[203]
that you would like to run the report
[205]
for from the drop down you can select
[208]
the preset time periods that QuickBooks
[210]
has or you can indicate a specific date
[213]
in this field the show non zero or
[216]
active column allows you to show only
[218]
active vendors or suppliers all vendors
[222]
and suppliers or just those that have a
[224]
balance other than zero and you can do
[227]
the same for the columns as well days
[229]
per aging period allow you to select the
[234]
number of days within each category so
[237]
for example we've got 1 2 30 31 to 60 60
[240]
190 each of these have 30 days within
[243]
their category and we've got 4 buckets
[246]
and so you have the option to actually
[249]
change that up to suit your business
[250]
needs once you've made all the
[253]
selections that you need to you simply
[254]
just click the run report button
[256]
and it will run the a.p aging summary
[260]
report for you so keep in mind that this
[262]
is an A
[263]
P aging summary report so these are
[266]
summarized totals of what you owe your
[269]
suppliers in order to get to the
[273]
specific invoices that you have
[275]
outstanding or bills that you have
[277]
outstanding with your suppliers you want
[279]
to click on make sure you are on the
[282]
vendor that you want to take a look at
[283]
and then if you just click on the amount
[286]
it will drill down to an AP aging detail
[291]
report that will show you the invoice
[293]
details that make up that balance and so
[298]
here as we can see ap aging detail we've
[301]
only got one bill outstanding so there's
[303]
one billed that's for that total
[305]
outstanding balance of seven hundred and
[307]
fifty-five dollars so you do have the
[310]
option to email this report print the
[314]
report or you can export it to excel by
[319]
now you should have a better
[321]
understanding of how the ap aging
[323]
summary report can help you stay on top
[326]
of the unpaid vendor invoices so that
[329]
you can be sure to pay your suppliers in
[331]
a timely manner here are a few things
[333]
that you should implement at your
[335]
earliest convenience be sure to enter a
[339]
vendor bills into quickbooks online as
[341]

[344]
terms are set up in quickbooks for all
[346]

[349]

[351]
payment and finally review the ap aging
[355]
