Reporting: Customer Payment Performance - payment date and number of days late
Ability to generate a report where users’ can view contact payment activity
Purpose: Users’ can easily see which customer has good and bad credit performance, and manage customer relationships & debt.
Hi everyone, we appreciate the continued trend in support through this idea, and feedback to my last update. We recognise how valuable it is to have clear visibility of your customer payment performance, so you can quickly review payment dates and days late across customers without needing to check each contact individually.
We want to share that we’re currently working on reports to give businesses better visibility of payment performance, with our initial focus on the supplier side through a new 'Supplier days to pay detail' report showing historical payment behaviour across suppliers.
Once that’s rolled out, we’ll begin work on additional reports for the Sales side with customer payment performance.
I’ll return to share as work on customer reporting is picked up and progresses. Thanks

Still no comment or update from Xero on this request ?
Why does it take so long ?
None of the ideas on tis forum ever seem to progress ... so frustrating and seriously considering a move back to SAGE as so much basic functioanality is missing from Xero -

To view at a client level who are your bad debt clients and who are the 'oops missed a payment client' is very important. This is a cashflow concern and would be a very help when managing aged receivables.

Such a crucial report on customer management and managing Cash Flow. I am currently running a workaround in Excel, but would love to be able to run it out of Xero directly and have our branding on the reporting.

This feature would be great to be able to monitor the payment time of all customers on one page

Surely with the data already in Xero this wouldn't be a hard report to produce!

This is very important and would be so helpful, how near are we to being able to run this report?

Please Xero Team can we have a response on this critical report request?

This has been requested for years, is Xero going to look at this? To action this per customer is a very inefficient option. other programs offer this. Please relook into this.

Would like a report to be able to see a list of contacts together with their average payment days - I know this can be seen on each contact but its very inefficient to look this up for each client one by one.
use this information to update our 30 day cash flow in Xero but also need to use for longer term cash flow forecast reporting too and would be so much more efficient to be able to import a single list.Yet another simple report in SAGE that is missing from Xero

Need to see this especially when renewing contracts in bulk on Ignition.

As mentioned by so many comments, the information is already calculated there within Xero as o/s days are shown for each invoice in the individual customer account. Surely it should be simple report writing task for the Xero team to bring the data together an make available as part of the reporting tools for credit control & KPI's?

The number of critical management reports missing from Xero is astounding. Another one we'll wait forever for no doubt.

We are signatories to the Prompt Payment Code which encourages Large co.s to pay their suppliers on-time and hopefully within 30 days. THis report would be a real benefit on ensuring they do. https://www.smallbusinesscommissioner.gov.uk/ppc/

Much needed info. Data is currently being calculated and sitting there but not in a useful manner.
Will improve health of many organisations with a simple report create or addition of field selection for custom reports. -

A key report that would massively help credit control

I hope this is something that xero can consider in the near future. It would be a great tool for credit control, especially when new practices have been put in place.

This is such an important feature and should be standard.
To have to view each individual contact is so time consuming and frustrating when the information is already stored within Xero.
