How to use these guides

Begin with the records already maintained in your accounting system. Confirm due dates, settlement dates, credits, and partial payments before drawing a conclusion about a customer. A summary is useful only when you can trace it back to the underlying invoices and explain which records were included or excluded.

Use an aging report for today’s open balances and a historical review for prior payment timing. They answer different questions. Neither view should be treated as a credit report, lending recommendation, or promise that the next invoice will follow the same pattern.

What the material does not replace

These articles provide practical product and receivables education, not accounting, legal, tax, or credit advice. Apply your own policies and professional judgment, especially when contract terms, disputes, unapplied payments, or corrected transactions affect the record. If you need help with the application rather than the underlying accounting decision, visit Support or contact the PayerScore team.
