Accounts Receivable Reports

The following table describes some of the key reports in accounts receivable reporting.

Report Description Id
Aged Accounts Receivables Shows the amount outstanding with customers broken down into time intervals for the overdue time. The report also displays the part of the customers' balance that is not due and can be shown with or without document details for each customer. This report is the main report for reconciling customer ledger to G/L. Assuming you have not allowed direct posting to the accounts used in the customer posting groups' receivables account, this report is a specification of the amounts you find in G/L. 120
Customer Statement Generates a customer statement for a specified time interval. It's usually sent to the customers to give them an overview of outstanding amounts and also as a reminder to pay any overdue amounts. You can choose to show the overdue amounts in a separate section. You can include an aging band similar to the one used in the Aged Receivables report. For the aging band, you typically set 30D, which means 30 days intervals such as30, 60, 90, and 90+ days overdue, from the ending date, or 1M+CM, which will be the current month in a separate interval and then monthly intervals for the preceding months. Note: In the customer list, this report also has a separate action, Scheduled Statements. This option does not filter to the customer you have selected. It's the same report but used when you want to send statement to all/more customers. You can filter the report so that it shows only entries that are still open for the customer. To apply the filter when you're setting up the report, in the Statement Style field, choose Open Items. 1316
Customer - Balance to Date Shows the open customer ledger entries until the ending date. This report shows similar content as the customer statement but with no indication if the entry is overdue. Note: The date filter will be applied to the detailed customer ledger entries. This means that if you have payments later than the ending date that have been applied to invoices in within the date range, the invoices will appear in the report as they have not been closed as per the ending date. 121
Customer - Trial Balance Shows the net changes for customers for the period specified in the date filter as well as the net change year-to-date for the fiscal year corresponding to the period selected. The report is grouped by customer posting groups and will give a different view of the customer ledger than the Aged Account Receivables report. Note: If you haven't set up any accounting period, the system will not know what fiscal year to use and will either show year-to-date from the most recent fiscal year defined or just select the period, which may or may not be from beginning of a year. 129
Customer - Detail Trial Balance Shows all the customer ledger entries within the specified date filter. This report is generally used to check that all entries for a specific customer are accounted for, or other internal checks on customer ledgers. 104
Customer - Payment Receipt Creates a payment receipt for each customer ledger entry of type Payment. If the payment has been applied to invoices, the invoices will be specified; otherwise, it will just state the payment amount as unapplied. This report is used to send to customers that want documentation for receipt of payment. 211
Reconcile Customer and Vendor Accounts Shows the G/L entries resulting from posting customer and vendor entries split per G/L account and posting groups. This report is used for reconciling the balances on customer and vendor ledgers to general ledger balances. 33
Customer - Summary Aging Simp. This is a legacy version of an accounts receivables aging report. We recommend you use the Aged Accounts Receivables report instead. 109
Sales Statistics Shows amounts for sales, profit, invoice discount, and payment discount in LCY, and the profit percentage for each customer. The costs and profits are given as both the original and adjusted amounts. The original costs and profits are those values that were calculated at the time of posting, and the adjusted costs and profits reflect changes to the original costs of the items in the sales. The cost adjustment amount shown in the report is the difference between the original cost and the adjusted cost.
The figures are divided into three periods. You can select the length of the period, starting on a selected date. There are also columns for amounts before and after the three periods. Use the report to analyze earnings from an individual customer and earnings trends, for example.
In the US, Canada, and Mexico, this report is not available. Instead, use the Customer Sales Statistics (10047) report.
This report can also be used in accounts receivable as it's easier to do a quick look-up of posted payments, discounts, and sales for a given customer.
112
Customer List Shows various kinds of basic information for customers, such as customer posting group, discount group, finance charge and payment information, salesperson, the customer's default currency and credit limit in your local currency (LCY), and the customer's current balance (in LCY). The report can be used, for example, to maintain the information in the Customer table. 101

Accounts Payable Reports

The following table describes some of the key reports in accounts payable reporting.

Report Description ID
Aged Accounts Payable Shows overdue balances for vendors in overdue time intervals. The overdue amounts can be shown by due date, posting date, or by document date as needed. You can choose to show the amounts in local currency (LCY) and print details of the overdue documents. The time intervals can have headings with dates or with number of dates overdue, relative to the specified aging by type.
This report is the main report for reconciling vendor ledger to G/L. Assuming that you don't post directly to the payables account for the vendor posting group, this report is a specification of the amounts in the general ledger.
322
Vendor - Balance to Date Shows the vendor balance by the ending date of the specified date range. You can choose to display the vendor balance in your local currency (LCY). Select the Include Unapplied Entries field to show entries that have been closed by the ending date but have been un-applied (opened) at a later date. Select the Show Entries with Zero Balance to show vendors with a balance of zero by the ending date of the date filter. The date filter applies to the detailed vendor ledger entries for the entries in the report. If a payment was made after the ending date, and the payment was applied to invoices within the date range, the report includes the invoice. The report includes the invoice because it wasn't closed before the ending date. 321
Vendor - Trial Balance Shows the net changes for vendors for the period specified in the date filter, and the net change year-to-date for the corresponding fiscal year. The report is grouped by vendor posting groups and will give a different view of the vendor ledger than the Aged Accounts Payable report. Note: If you haven't set up accounting periods, Business Central won't know which fiscal year to use. It will either show the year-to-date from the most recent fiscal year or just select the period. The date might not be from the beginning of a year. 329
Vendor - Detail Trial Balance Shows all the vendor ledger entries within the specified date filter. The report shows the vendor's beginning balances relative to the date filter. 304

Statistics are calculated for purchases before the date entered, at three one-month intervals from the date entered, and for a period including all purchases made after the third one-month interval.
This report can also be used in accounts payable as it's easier to do a quick look-up of posted payments, discounts, and other transactions for a given vendor.
312
Vendor - Summary Aging Legacy report for aged accounts payable. We recommend that you use Aged Accounts Payables report instead. You can choose a period length and a date to use as set overdue per date. 305
Payments on Hold Shows vendor ledger entries where the On Hold field is not blank. 319
Vendor Pre-Payment Journal Shows the payment journal with payment discount and tolerance information. The report can be used to check payments before creating payment files and posting the journal. Note: The report will show payment discounts incorrectly when multiple credit memos have been used in an application. In this case, the payment discount for the extra credit memos will be shown as an un-applied amount. 317
Vendor - List Shows basic information for vendors, such as the vendor posting group, discount and payment information, priority level and the vendor's default currency, and the vendor's current balance (in LCY). Use the report, for example, to maintain information about the vendor. 301

For example, to generate a report to use for reconciling with the general ledger, add columns for acquisition cost at ending date, depreciation at ending date, and book value at ending date. A check report could have acquisitions/net change, write-down/net change, and Appreciation/net change, so every change to fixed asset can be checked if necessary. If you select the Budget Report field and specify an ending date in the future, the report will calculate the future depreciation and can give estimates for future depreciation and book values, if you selected those fields as report columns. 5600
Fixed Asset Projected Value Shows the projected depreciation amounts and book value for a future period for assets.

The In Assembly row shows sales figures for the total quantity that is sold as part of an assembly item. The specific assembly item sales that sum up to this total are shown if you select the Show Assembly Details field.
The focus is on the assembly components, but the figures are calculated from the profit margin of their parent, the assembly item. Accordingly, the sales amount of each component is calculated from its own cost and the profit margin of its parent in the following formula.
The report shows information for items that meet one or both of the following criteria:
- Exist in the assembly BOM of an item that uses the Assemble-to-Order assembly policy.
- Has been sold as part of assemble-to-order sale.

Production Reports

The following table describes some of the key reports in production reporting.

Report Description Id
Quantity Explosion of BOM Shows an indented BOM listing for the item or items that you specify in the filters. The production BOM is completely exploded for all levels. 99000753
Item - Able to Make (Time) Shows how five different key availability figures change over time for a BOM item. These figures change according to expected supply and demand events and to supply that is based on available components that can be assembled or produced.
You can use the report to see whether you can fulfill a sales order for an item on a specified date by looking at its current availability in combination with the potential quantities that its components can supply if an assembly order has been started. The report shows you when and how many units of an assembly and production item you can make based on component availability and the item's current availability. This is shown as the total quantity.
The information is shown in a graph where each availability figure is a line that progresses along the timeline and moves up and down as quantities change. The quantity figures come from the same engine that provides information to the Item Availability by BOM Level window.
5871
BOM Cost Share Distribution Shows graphically how an assembled or produced item’s cost is distributed through its BOM.
Such information can be useful in deciding, for example, whether to change component suppliers, replace internal capacity usage with outsourced labor or vice versa or when reviewing and modifying an item’s bill of material.
The first chart in the report shows the total unit cost of the parent item’s components and labor resources broken down in up to five different cost shares, and represented graphically with different colors.
The pie chart with the caption By Material/Labor shows the proportional distribution between the parent item’s material and labor costs, as well as its own manufacturing overhead. The material cost share includes the item's material costs. The labor cost share includes capacity, capacity overhead and subcontracted costs. The cost shares are displayed differently depending on your choices in the Show only field.
The pie chart with the caption By Direct/Indirect shows the proportional distribution between the parent item's direct and indirect costs. The direct cost share includes the item's material, capacity, and subcontracted costs. The indirect cost share includes capacity overhead and manufacturing overhead.
The table at the bottom of the report is included when you select the Include Details check box. It shows selected values from the BOM Cost Shares window by single level or rolled up, depending on your choices in the Show Cost Shares as field.
5872
Detailed Calculation Shows a cost list per item taking into account the scrap. 99000756
Where-Used (Top Level) Shows where and in what quantities the items are used in the product structure.
The report shows only the item as where-used, when the base item is used as the top-level item. For example, if item "A" is used to produce item "B", and item "B" is used to produce item "C", the report will show item B if you run this report for item A. If you run this report for item B, then item C will be shown as where-used.
You can also open the Where-Used Line page directly from the item.
99000757
Item BOM Compare list This report gives you the possibility to compare similar final products concerning the costs. You will see a listing with all components and their costs as well the needed quantities. The calculation date is normally set to the work date. 99000758
Production Order Statistics Specifies the various costs that have accumulated for the selected production order.
The content of the report are very similar to the Production Order Statistics page.
For production orders that use the Make-to-Order manufacturing policy, the window only shows material and capacity cost of items at the highest BOM level.
99000791
Capacity Task list Shows the production orders that are waiting to be processed at the work centers and machine centers. Printouts are made for the capacity of the work center or machine center). The report includes information such as starting and ending time, date per production order and input quantity. 99000780
Work Center Load Shows a list for the load on a work center. The load on a work center is the sum of the required number of times that all the planned and actual orders are run on the work center in a specified period. 99000783
Machine Center Load Shows a list for the load on a machine center. The load on a machine center is the sum of the required number of times that all the planned and actual orders are run on the work center in a specified period. 99000784
Prod. Order Shortage list This report can be used to see all components that are not available because of missing stock. So, this overview can be used to see in time, if the timeline for a planned or released production order if the planned time can be kept. 99000788
Prod. Order - Calculation Shows a list of the production orders and their costs. It includes expected operation costs, expected component costs, and total costs. 99000767
