Invoices appear in the wrong column on trial balance documents

Question

Why are invoices appearing in the Current column on the Trial Balance document instead of in the 30 - 60 Day column?

Answer

For example, if you set the period 1 aging dates from 01/01/00 to 31/03/00, invoices issued on January 31 appear in the Current column instead of the 30 - 60 Day column when the Current Active Period is set to period 3 (March 1 to March 31).

To verify that the period dates do not match the aging dates

1. On the File menu, click Company Profile.
2. Click the Dates tab and check the period dates in the Dates section.
3. Click the Receivables tab and verify that the Aging Period Dates section matches the dates on the Dates tab. If the Dates do not match, that is the answer to your question.

To set the aging dates to the same sequence as the file period dates

1. Click the Dates tab.

2. Select the Aging Dates same as Period Dates check box and click OK.

   In the example above, the invoice issued on January 31 will now appear in the 30 - 60 Day column.
