Global AP Aging

Global AP Aging overview

This page provides a global view of organisation’s Accounts Payable. This is the balance of money owed to vendors or suppliers, but not yet paid for. This information gives business leaders a clear picture of cash outflows and liabilities. It also helps with prioritisation, scheduling bill payments, and other cash management decisions.

AP aging report contains a list of company’s unpaid invoices, showing the total Accounts Payable balance split into several aging buckets.

The first two columns are Balance (total outstanding balance) and Current (payables not due for payment yet). Balance is a sum of all aging buckets including the Current one.

The table below explains the columns in the matrix:

Please note that the above mentioned buckets are just an example of how they can be defined. Users can set up and manage user-defined aging period definitions in evergreen using the form *‘Aging
period definitions’*, as already explained in the previous section” (Global AR)”:https://www.manula.com/manuals/sa-global/sa-global-product-release-notes/empower.bi/en/topic/global-ar.

Active Aging period definition is unique for Account receivable and Account payable, so there is no need to make adjustments on both sides.

By expanding more levels in the matrix, we can drill down from

• Company view to Vendor Group,
• Vendor
• Invoice of the specific vendor.

Three visuals at the bottom of the page are used to highlight:

• Share of each bucket in the total AP Balance
• Overdue AP per company (provided that more than one entity is selected in the Company slicer)
• Top list of 5 vendors with the highest total Overdue AP (sum of all buckets’ AP excluding the Current bucket)
