# How to run the Unpaid bills report in MYOB Business

In MYOB Business, run the Unpaid bills report as at your chosen date. Check the total ties to your accounts payable balance and look at items over 30 days.

An aged payables report lists what you owe each supplier, grouped by how overdue each bill is.

## Before you start

- Reports access
- Plan that includes purchases reports

## The MYOB Business way

Where to find it: Reporting > Reports > Purchases

1. Go to Reporting > Reports and click the Purchases tab.
2. Run Unpaid bills for the bills still owing. Run Payables reconciliation with tax for each supplier's balance and its ageing periods.
3. Set the filters and Report options across the top. The report updates by itself as you change them.
4. Click Expand all, or expand one supplier, to see the transactions behind a balance and their ageing periods.
5. Use the Payables account and Out of balance amounts shown on the report to reconcile your payables.
6. Click Customise to choose and reorder columns. Click Export for Excel or PDF, or View and print for a PDF in a new tab.

## Limits in MYOB Business

- Available reports are based on your plan.
- Excel will not show the totals until you enable editing in Excel.

## Good to know in MYOB Business

- The reports used to be called Payables with tax and Receivables with tax. MYOB renamed them Payables reconciliation with tax and Receivables reconciliation with tax. The Unpaid bills description was rewritten too.
- Reporting > Exceptions dashboard has a Payables reconciliation exceptions review. It compares unpaid bills to the linked payables account and links to a report if there are exceptions.

## Example in MYOB Business

Example Pty Ltd runs Payables reconciliation with tax at 31 October.

- Example Pipe Co: $12,400.00 (Within ageing periods)
- Example Electrical: $6,900.00 (Within ageing periods)
- Example Timber Supplies: $2,150.00 (Check for an unapplied return)

Total owing $21,450.00. Agree it to the payables account before you lock the month.

## Common mistakes

- Expecting every purchases report on every plan. Available reports are based on your plan.
- Reading the report before setting the filters and report options.
