View accounts payable outstanding
The Outstanding (AP) report is an aging view of everything you owe your suppliers. Use it to see what is due, how long it has been outstanding, and how quickly you are paying.
Before you start
- The report reflects your purchase invoices and supplier payments, so keep those up to date. See Manage purchase invoices and Record a supplier payment.
Open the report
- Go to Purchase > Outstanding (AP).
- Review the aging of what you owe.
Purchase Outstanding: what you owe suppliers, how much is overdue and by how many days.
What the report shows
- Aging buckets — what you owe suppliers, grouped into aging buckets so you can see what is current and what is overdue.
- Average days outstanding — how quickly you are paying your suppliers, so you can track payment performance over time.
Tips
- Work from the oldest buckets first to avoid overdue supplier balances building up.
- When you are ready to pay, record the payment in Supplier Payments and allocate it to the open invoices. See Record a supplier payment.
