A/P Aging(Accounts Payable Aging)
Accounts payable aging (A/P aging) is a report that buckets unpaid vendor bills by how long they've been outstanding — typically 0-30, 31-60, 61-90, and over 90 days. A/P aging shows how aggressive a business is at managing payment terms — and whether it's straining vendor relationships.
Formula
Each unpaid bill is bucketed by its age (days since bill date) into 0-30, 31-60, 61-90, or 90+ days outstanding.
Example
A business has $200K in unpaid bills: $150K in 0-30 (within net-30 terms), $40K in 31-60, $10K in 61-90. The 31-60 bucket is past terms — late fees and strained vendor relationships are likely.
Why it matters
Watching A/P aging alongside A/R aging shows working capital health. Healthy: A/R aging shorter than A/P aging (you collect faster than you pay). Strained: A/P aging growing while A/R aging stays the same — a sign that cash isn't flowing fast enough.
