What is Accounts Receivable (AR) Aging?
Technical definition, shop floor implications, and pricing strategies for commercial apparel decorators.
A financial report that categorizes outstanding unpaid customer invoices by the length of time they have been due (Current, 1–30 Days, 31–60 Days, 61–90 Days, 90+ Days).
Deep Dive & Practical Application
Cash flow is the lifeblood of a custom print shop. Uncollected corporate and school net-30 invoices tie up working capital needed to purchase blank inventory and pay payroll.
An AR Aging dashboard highlights overdue balances, tracks communication logs, and triggers automated SMS/email payment reminder links before accounts turn delinquent.
Shop Floor & Profitability Impact
Automated invoice follow-ups and card-on-file customer payment portals reduce average Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) by over 14 days.
