What is the difference between age by document date and age by due date?

Due Date
The invoice is categorized by the number of days past the due date. If the payment terms are 60 days, then the date range in the most left column should only be the first 60 days. More than 60 days will be sitting under second column onwards, which shows they are now overdue for payment.

Invoice Date 
the invoice is categorized by the number of days since the invoice was posted

 To illustrate the difference between age by "Due Date" and "Document Date", I have printed out AP Aging Report as showing below.There are two invoice posted into different period with 60 Days payment terms.

a. Aging is printed as at May-2018


 Due Date
   -   Both invoice sitting under "Current" period as both invoice has not pass the 60 Days period when printing in May-2018.

Document Date
   -   Invoice from April will be moving to 31-60 Days; whereas invoice from May will still sitting in Current Period because it is posted in the same month as the aging date printed.


b. Aging is printed as at July-2018


 Due Date
   -   Both invoice are moving to respective aging bucket after payment terms has past due.


Document Date
   -   Both invoice move to the respective aging bucket based on the invoice date posted.

How to Create Recurring Transaction in Dynamics GP

If you have a handful of journal entries to be created in regular basis, whether for  numerous accruals and reversals,  allocation, or reclassification entries, setting up Recurring Transaction in Dynamics GP will be helpful and speed up your month end process. Step 1 - Setup Recurring Batch Path: Transaction > Financial > Batches  i.    After entering the " Batch ID " and " Comment ", setting up the " Frequency " is the most important part for recurring transaction. " Single Use " is the one we use all the time for single posting, once posted, the batch will remove from Batch ID.

GP How to Reconcile Payable/ Receivable Ledger to General Ledger Control Account using "Reconcile to GL"

The “Reconcile to GL” tool helps you find differences between Payables Management (and GL) and Receivables Management (and GL) automatically by coming out a report. The Rule of Thumb, GL balance for the AP Control Account should match up with the total on the Payable Ledger report and the GL balance for the AR Control Account should match the total on the Receivables Ledger report.  "Reconcile to GL" will match each transaction between GL and Sub-ledger based on the setup account and posting date.  Any transactions that don’t match and users have to start digging through detailed transactions to see what went wrong, “Reconcile to GL” can be helpful in this scenario. To perform Payable/Receivable Reconciliation Path: Microsoft Dynamics GP > Tools > Routines > Financial > Reconcile to GL     1.       Type in your date range.     2.       Select “Module”, either Payable Management or Receivable Management. ...
