Frequently Asked Questions

Why doesn't Collections by Age match Final Invoices Available vs. Actual for Current, Prior, and Future Collected categories?

Collections by Age does calculations daily, while Final Invoices Available vs. Actual reviews what happened during the month and performs calculations based on the end of the month.

For example, if an invoice is collected one day past its due date, Collections by Age places it in the Past Due 1-30 category, but Final Invoices Available vs. Actual places in the Current Invoices category. This applies to the Future Invoices bucket as well.

If a member pays the invoice one day before it becomes due, Collections by Age assigns it to the Future Invoices category, where Final Invoices Available vs. Actual shows it as a Current Invoice.

Total Collected will always match between the two reports. Profit Center collected amounts for Collections by Age will match DRDR and DBS collected totals. FIAA and MBS could differ from Collections by Age due to end of month reclassification.
