Accounts Receivable Aging for a Small Shop
Group customer dues by age so collection effort starts with the right balances.
By ElectroX Team
A total amount owed does not show which invoices are newly due and which have been ignored for months. Aging turns the balance into a work list.
## Choose clear buckets
Group unpaid amounts as current, 1 to 30 days late, 31 to 60, and over 60. Base age on the agreed due date, not the last reminder.
## Verify the balance
Check partial payments, returns, and credits before contacting the customer. A wrong reminder can damage trust quickly.
## Assign follow up
Give each overdue group an owner and next contact date. Record the customer's reply and escalate only under a written credit policy.
ElectroX customer and payment records can supply the transaction trail behind each outstanding balance.
