Re: [GNC-dev] [GNC] Customer Report versus Receivables Aging
Hi Christopher, Thank you for this suggestion. Unfortunately, I failed to mention that I'm running GnuCash on a Mac (Mojave, 10.14.6). I don't think the Windows repository you sent will help me much. I am willing to try the beta version of the reports if I can do that without jeopardizing my production environment. I just don't know how to do that; I've never used anything but the stable version.

Re: [GNC-dev] [GNC] Customer Report versus Receivables Aging
I have a client that has frequent pre-payments and their entry in the Aging report shows a negative balance. (I owe them because they have pre-paid) I’m also using 3.7. Are you entering pre-payments using the “process payment” function? If you are simply taking the payment entered as a manual transaction, and later using the ‘apply as payment’ function, then the Aging report won’t see it till you do that. The business features and associated reports aren’t cognizant of manual entries.

Re: [GNC-dev] [GNC] Customer Report versus Receivables Aging
Hi John You're in luck... If you're willing to beta test the new versions of customer-report and aging-report, you can download the nightly at https://code.gnucash.org/builds/win32/maint/ and try the new versions in the Experimental reports submenu. Choose a build after 2-November. There's only one such build so far dated 3-November. The new customer report (beta) will have option to display all invoice->payments and payment->invoice links. Both will also handle prepayments in the aging table separately. Please report any bugs in https://bugs.gnucash.org The old customer and aging reports are otherwise unchanged and will hopefully be mothballed. Please report any unwanted discrepancies between old and new.
