The Aged Creditors report shows how much you owe each supplier and a breakdown of each bill. If your business is registered for VAT, the figures shown on the report will be inclusive of VAT.

You can choose to show or hide this information for each supplier by selecting the arrow next to their name.

The column headers (0-30 days etc) indicate how long before the report date each bill was dated. There's also a grand total of how much you owe your suppliers at the bottom of the screen.
