An aged payables report lists what you owe each supplier, grouped by how overdue each bill is. What is accounts payable?
Before you start
- Reports access
- Plan that includes purchases reports
The MYOB Business way
Where to find it: Reporting > Reports > Purchases
- Go to Reporting > Reports and click the Purchases tab.
- Run Unpaid bills for the bills still owing. Run Payables reconciliation with tax for each supplier's balance and its ageing periods.
- Set the filters and Report options across the top. The report updates by itself as you change them.
- Click Expand all, or expand one supplier, to see the transactions behind a balance and their ageing periods.
- Use the Payables account and Out of balance amounts shown on the report to reconcile your payables.
- Click Customise to choose and reorder columns. Click Export for Excel or PDF, or View and print for a PDF in a new tab.

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 Electrical | $6,900.00 | Within ageing periods |
