# Understanding your Vendor Balances report

Autobooks provides our subscriber users a report to see the total dollar amount you owe a vendor you do business with and how long ago the money was due OR vendors that may owe you a refund on a previously paid (but canceled) invoice. This type of report is also known as an Accounts Payable Aging report.

#### Accessing your report

Click on the **Reports** tab on the left side navigation within Autobooks. From there, click on the **Vendor Balances** option.

Your report may be sorted by an "As of date". The default view is today's date. To change the "As of date", click the down arrow next to **Search criteria** then change the date that appears.

#### Understanding the report results

The **Vendor Balance** report displays all of your previously vendor invoices in alphabetical order of the vendors you work with. If you owe no money to a vendor, the **Total due** column will display a balance of $0.00.

If a vendor invoice is currently due (but not late) a dollar amount will appear in the **Current** column. If the invoice is late past the due date, a dollar amount will appear in the appropriate range of days late. For example, if the vendor invoice is 40 days past due a dollar amount will appear in the **31-60** column.

**Note:** if you owe the vendor multiple invoices, the columns will show the total dollar amount that is late (not individual invoices).

A vendor may have a negative dollar amount in the **Total due** column. This will occur if you have canceled a paid invoice but have not yet been refunded the payment to the vendor. If you have received a refund from the vendor, you'll need to categorize the money deposit transaction using the Accounting tool.
