AR Over 30 Days
Use this table window to view and/or modify the parameters used for the AR 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 AR 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 invoice due date is 10/10/2016 and you enter -60 in this field, Costpoint adjusts the date to 8/11/2016, and the invoice will fall in a different aging bucket on the AR 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 Projects to display | This field displays 25 by default, but you can modify it. Use this field to limit the number of projects that display on the dashpart based on the highest AR balances. For example, if you enter 15 here, only the top 15 projects with the highest AR balance amount will be displayed on the dashpart. Adding too many projects to the chart can make it difficult to read. |
| Minimum amount to display | This field displays 1,000 by default, but you can modify it. Use this field to limit the number of projects that display on the dashpart to projects with at least "x" AR balance amount. For example, if you enter 2,000 here, only projects with at least $2,000 AR balance amount will be displayed on the dashpart. |

-9,999 and
