Metrics you can track with the accounts payable dashboard templates

Amount due

This metric shows the monetary value of all unpaid bills in the selected currency for the specified reporting period. Track the amount due to see how much money your business owes vendors in total. Check whether it is possible to close all monthly obligations on time.

Overdue amount

The overdue amount reflects the sum of money for unpaid bills with past deadlines. Control this value to understand how much money you currently owe creditors. Decide which bills should be paid first and prioritize other outgoing financial transactions.

Overdue bills (90+ days)

This metric depicts the value of all unpaid bills with the deadline passed 90+ days ago. View the AP Aging table to discover vendors associated with unpaid bills that expired over three months ago. For your convenience, the table rows are sorted by the creditors with the highest due amount. Decide how to prioritize payments to those vendors.

Overdue bills (30+ days)

This is the value of all unpaid bills that expired a month ago or even earlier. Analyze those bills in terms of amount and vendors, and think of which ones should be prioritized. See how this part of the account payable correlates with your current balance.

Opening balance

Opening balance reflects the amount of money at your disposal at the beginning of the specific accounting period. Track this metric to ensure stability and transparency of accounting operations. Compare the opening balance metric to the closing balance report to check your business's financial health.

Cash received

This amount reflects the sum of money your business has received from sales. It includes all customer payments, deposits, and other sources of revenue sent to your bank account. Observe how cash received correlates with due and overdue amounts to plan your billing activities for the current accounting period.

Cash spent

This KPI shows the amount your business spends on operational needs, debt payments, and other expenses. Control the levels of cash spent to make sure it doesn’t exceed the company’s cash resources at disposal. Use this metric to assess your business expenses and manage cash flow effectively.

Current balance

The current balance reflects the value of all monetary resources at your company’s disposal. See the distribution of current balances across various bank accounts. Think of how the available resources can be used to make payments to your vendors.
