Aged Accounts Payable is a report listing open vendor balances at a chosen date, split into aging buckets such as current, 1 to 30 days and 31 to 60 days.
Aged Accounts Payable is a standard Business Central report that shows how much you owe each vendor at a given date and how old those amounts are. It is built entirely from open vendor ledger entries, so it reflects invoices, credit memos and payments that have not been fully applied. You choose the aging basis, normally due date, and the length of each bucket, typically 30 days.
Press Alt+Q and search for Aged Accounts Payable. The request page lets you set the aging date, the aging basis such as due date, posting date or document date, the period length and whether to print one line per document or only vendor totals. The same report can also be started from the vendor list when you want a single vendor.
Aged at 30 April 2026 with 30 day buckets and aging by due date, vendor V00120 shows nothing current, CHF 8,400 in the 1 to 30 days column from invoice PI-2026-0455 dated 12 March with 30 day terms, and CHF 1,250 in the 61 to 90 days column from a January invoice still under dispute. The vendor total is CHF 9,650, which should agree with the vendor balance in the ledger at the same date.
Aging by posting date instead of due date is the most common misreading: everything looks overdue although the payment terms are being respected. Unapplied documents distort the picture too, since a payment on account or a credit memo that was never applied to its invoice leaves both entries open and can produce a negative bucket next to an inflated one. Finally, running the report today for a past date can differ from what you saw then, because entries posted after that date with an earlier posting date are now included.
Aging is only as good as the speed at which invoices reach the ledger: an invoice sitting in a mailbox for two weeks shortens the payment window without ever appearing in a bucket. Zentriq Document Capture reads incoming vendor invoices into Business Central so the document exists from the day it arrives, while the review and the posting stay with the person responsible.
Usually because the aging date and the posting date filter differ, or because a payable is posted to a G/L account outside the vendor posting group. Compare the report with the vendor ledger entries at the same date first.
Age by due date when you want to see what is genuinely late under the agreed payment terms. Posting date aging only tells you how old the document is, not whether it is overdue.
