AP Over 30 Days

Use this table window to view and/or modify the parameters used for the AP Over 30 Days dashpart.

Field Description
Parameter ID This field displays your user ID by default, but you can modify it especially when you have multiple parameter settings for this dashpart. When adding a new line, ensure that this field has a unique ID to differentiate it from the previous line(s). This field allows up to 15 alphanumeric characters. If your user ID has more than 15 characters, this field displays the first 15 characters by default.
Parameter Description This field displays Default parameters by default, but you can modify it especially when you have multiple parameter settings for this dashpart. It is recommended that you enter a description that best describes the parameter.
Aging date adjustment days This field displays the aging date adjustment days and defaults to 0. Leave the default value for an accurate view of the AP Over 30 Days dashpart based on today's date. If you modify this field, Costpoint moves the aging date based on the value you enter by adding or subtracting the number of days from the current date. For example, if the due date is 10/10/2016 and you enter -60 in this field, Costpoint adjusts the date to 8/11/2016, and the voucher will fall in a different aging bucket on the AP Over 30 Days dashpart.

You can use this parameter if you are testing on static data.

Note: It is recommended that you leave this field to 0. If you need to edit this field, enter values between -9,999 and 9,999 to avoid getting an error.
Maximum number of Vendors to display This field displays 25 by default, but you can modify it.
