The Smarter Way to Manage Receivables: Introducing the Customer Statement with Aging in ERPNext

by karani

If you’re still chasing spreadsheets, exporting raw data, or manually highlighting overdue invoices – it’s time to stop.

Receivables management is not just about knowing who owes you. It’s about knowing what to do next.

That’s exactly what we’ve built into ERPNext: a Customer Statement with Aging Report that doesn’t just display balances – it drives action.

💡 The Problem

For most finance teams, customer statements offer little more than a list of invoices and balances. There’s no prioritization, no clarity on risk, and no context for decision-making.

As a result:

  • Teams waste hours figuring out which accounts to chase
  • Overdue payments go unnoticed until they’re in crisis
  • Managers lack visibility into how bad things really are

We knew ERPNext could do better – so we made it smarter.

🚀 What We Built: A Statement That Thinks for You

The Customer Statement with Aging Report in ERPNext now delivers everything a business needs to take control of its receivables:

From / To Date Filters
Quickly focus on specific periods without changing the whole report logic.

Transaction Breakdown
See every customer’s activity – with clean formatting, references, and running balances.

Aging Summary with Color-Coded Buckets
Instantly identify risk levels using intuitive categories:

  • 0 – 30 Days (Green)
  • 31 – 60 Days (Yellow)
  • 61 – 90 Days (Amber)
  • 91 – 120 Days (Orange)
  • Over 120 Days (Red)

Dual Totals

  • Total Due as of Selected Date – What’s overdue up to your report date
  • Total Due (All Time) – Your full receivables exposure

Built-in Readability
All values are formatted with thousand separators and grouped for clarity – ready for print, export, or PDF sharing.

🎯 Why It Matters

Managing receivables is more than tracking money – it’s about preserving cash flow, minimizing credit risk, and empowering teams with data they can act on.

With this report, businesses can:

  • Prioritize high-risk accounts
  • Schedule follow-ups based on severity
  • Report with confidence to internal and external stakeholders

It’s not just a report – it’s a decision-making tool.

Let’s talk if you’d like help integrating this into your ERPNext system or adapting it to your receivables strategy.

Stay unchained.
