As with all Print Account Ledger reports, there are many optional columns to print. We recommend the minimal inclusion of the 10 columns displayed below.
The customer ledger below shows a payment made on April 13, 2010 for invoices in January and February. Both the April payment and invoices are reconciled. The ledger shows one March and one November invoice not paid (unreconciled).
With Historic Aging set to yes and the dates as shown above, a Historic Aging report can be printed. The report will show the ledger as if time was rolled back to the date set in the printing prompt, March 31, 2010.
Below is the aging report with the invoices not paid as at March 31, 2010 aged as at the same date. If an invoice was paid (reconciled) beyond March 31, 2010 at the time of the report, the reconcile will display the reconcile value.
