Aged Debtors & Creditors - Include future transactions

In the old Sage Line 50 you could 'Include Future Transactions' on the aged debtors & creditor reports.

This is particularly useful when carrying out year-end audits as you can see which transactions from a previous date are still outstanding and therefore require investigation rather than having to check each entry to see if it was paid after the year end.

    Idea posted in Sage City:

    From desktop SAGE reporting we have lost the ability to run a debtors report for invoices to a particular date, but allowing payments/allocations to a later date. This is a key audit report as it allows us to quickly show how many of invoices to the year-end were outstanding at the year-end but which have now been settled. All the other online accounting packages that I use have this facility.

    It's also important for allowing statements to be sent to customers showing only invoices to the previous month-end, but allowing any subsequent payments to be reflected. At the moment either all the invoicing has to be synced to the date of the statement run, or I send statements to customers showing invoices they have already paid.
