Paid Invoices

Dashboard Graphs

AP Aging Graph

The aging graph displays the overdue amount distributed across an interval of 30 days. This enables the users to view the amounts due in 30 days, 60 days, etc to make payables decisions.

Users can click on the bar in any of the intervals to view corresponding invoices.

Cash Impact graphs

The cash impact graphs display the impact of the payables activities on the closing balance of the business. The Cash impact graphs display the cash outflows and inflows for the duration and the closing balance as the trend.

There are two cash impact graphs available to the users:

Cash Impact bars

Cash impact waterfall

When users schedule a payment, the outflow bar for the payment date and the corresponding adjustment to the closing balance is modified in the graph, enabling the user to view their cash status for the period.
