How it works: It shows you the number of invoices that are currently due (less than 30 days old) and the past due amounts in 30 day intervals, showing you how many accounts are overdue by the number of days. You can filter this report by current balance amount, total amount due (current + past due), and past-due interval (e.g. 90 days) Click on a person's name to view the amount paid and balance due in the Account Summary section of their Person Record.
