Module Objective

The Average Aged Receivables report module is used to calculate a key financial metric: the average collection period or Days Sales Outstanding (DSO). This report shows, on average, how many days it takes for the company to receive payment from customers after a sale is made. It is a key indicator for measuring the efficiency of the collections process.

Tips & Important Notes

  • A lower number on this report indicates that the company is faster and more efficient in collecting receivables from customers, which has a positive impact on cash flow.

  • Use this report periodically (e.g., monthly or quarterly) to monitor trends in collection efficiency over time.
