Configuration

How to enable Aged Debtors

  • Open Backoffice & login with an approved user

  • Navigate to ‘System Setup’ → ‘Global Settings’

  • Select the ‘Flags’ tab

  • Within the ‘Flags’ section, check ‘Aged Debtors’ to enable the functionality.

The operator requires the ‘Maintain Global Settings’ permission to be enabled within the General → System Setup operator permissions.

Enabling this feature initiates a system-wide recalculation of all outstanding account balances. Depending on the number of accounts and the frequency of charge and payment transactions, this may cause a brief delay in aged debtor reporting.

The new view includes the following fields:

  • Current Owing

  • 90+ Days Owing


 


Accounts Maintenance Window

Enabling "Aged Debtors" in Global Settings activates a new "Aged Debtors" tab within the Backoffice Account Maintenance window.

This tab displays the following:

  • Current Owing

  • 30 Days Owing

  • 60 Days Owing

  • 90+ Days Owing

The operator requires the ‘View Accounts’ permission to be enabled within the Maintenance → Accounts & Memberships operator permissions.
