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.
