Prepare an ageing schedule

An ageing schedule is a way of finding out if customers are paying their bills within the credit terms outlined in the company’s credit terms.

The ageing schedule is a table that shows a summarised breakup of AR into different time brackets. It is called an ageing schedule because it ranks accounts receivable according to their age (i.e. into slabs such as not yet due, 30 days overdue, 60 days overdue, 90 days overdue, etc.).
