How to automate ageing reports from Tally Prime? You can automate ageing reports from Tally Prime by connecting Tally data to a reporting solution such as EasyReports, configuring customer, supplier and inventory ageing reports, and scheduling data imports and report distribution. This helps finance teams review outstanding balances, overdue invoices and older inventory more efficiently.
A customer who regularly pays 30–60 days late may not surprise your finance team. But when a customer who usually pays on time starts showing outstanding balances in the 0–30-day bucket, your team may need to investigate before the pattern continues.
The second situation deserves attention because it represents a possible change in payment behaviour. However, a balance in the 0–30-day bucket does not automatically mean a payment is overdue. The answer depends on the customer’s credit terms and whether the report calculates ageing from the bill date or the due date.
