Age-wise Analysis for Bills Receivable/Payable Report in TallyPrime

The Bills Receivable/Payable report itself doesn’t directly offer age-wise analysis functionality in TallyPrime.

However, you can achieve an age-wise breakdown of Bills Receivable (outstanding sales bills) or Bills Payable (outstanding purchase bills) using the following approach:

1. Utilizing the Bills Receivable/Payable Report with Ageing Analysis

1. Go to the Gateway of Tally (Alt+F12) in TallyPrime.
2. Navigate to one of the following options depending on your requirement:
   • Display > More Reports > Statements of Accounts > Outstandings > Receivables (for outstanding sales bills).
   • Display > More Reports > Statements of Accounts > Outstandings > Payables (for outstanding purchase bills).

Alternatively, you can use keyboard shortcuts:

* Press `Alt+G` (Go To) and type or select "Bills Receivable" or "Bills Payable."

2. Enabling Ageing Analysis in TallyPrime:

3. Press F6 (Ageing Method) to access the age analysis settings. This crucial step activates the age-wise breakdown functionality for the report.

3. Choosing the Ageing Method:

1. Ageing by Bill Date:

Considers the voucher entry date for displaying outstanding amounts. (Useful for analyzing how long bills have been outstanding since creation).

2. Ageing by Due Date:

Considers the due date mentioned in the bill for displaying outstanding amounts. (Useful for understanding how overdue payments are).

4. Defining Age Slabs in TallyPrime:

4. Set the desired age periods (e.g., 0-30 days, 31-60 days, etc.) for categorizing outstanding bills. You can achieve this by:
   • Entering values directly in the “From” and “To” fields for each age slab.
   • Utilizing the “Set” buttons to define pre-defined ranges (e.g., 1-30, 31-60).

5. Viewing the Age-wise Breakdown in TallyPrime:

The Bills Receivable/Payable report will now display information like:

• Party: Name of the customer (for receivables) or supplier (for payables).
• Bill No.: Reference number of the outstanding bill.
• Bill Date: Date the bill was created (relevant to “Ageing by Bill Date”).
• Due Date: Date by which the payment is due (relevant to “Ageing by Due Date”).
• Amount: Total outstanding amount for each bill.
• Age Slabs: User-defined categories representing different outstanding bill age ranges.
• (Optional) Amount (for each Age Slab): Depending on your TallyPrime configuration, you might see a further breakdown of the total bill amount according to the defined age slabs. This provides additional insights if enabled.
