Pathway: Accounting > AR Aging Management

The AR Aging Management tool categorizes a company's accounts receivable according to the length of time an invoice has been outstanding. In addition, users can take action on targeted past-due accounts by sending past due notification emails, generating past due notification letters, changing the status of an account, or recording notes and tasks to follow up on at a later time.
