  7. To print the final report, click Print.

The report output lists the customers you specified and billing information for each.

The main part of the report is the aging buckets. These show how much each customer owes and how long that amount has been due. This report also prints finance charge information, which includes charges and payments. When printed in domestic currency, the report also includes gains/losses already written to the A/R journal. The bucket amounts are the sum of all transactions, including any gain/loss values. The bucket amounts do not include any estimate gain/loss amounts.

If an invoice has multiple due date payment terms, a line is printed for each scheduled payment that has not been completely paid.

You can print all posted transaction information showing the date and amount of each transaction. The end of the report provides grand totals for all selected customers.
