Hey,

Aged debtors analysis is a report you can print off by going to:

Customers > Reports > Aged Debtors Reports > Aged Debtors Analysis (Detailed)

This basically generates a report which details all of the Debtors Invoices (Invoices you raise to your customers) that are outstanding and have not yet been paid between the dates you specify when you generate the report. You can use this report as a reference to view the value of outstanding invoices, how old they are and you can also use it as a reference to chase outstanding debts outside of the standard payment terms you set.

I can see you are new at Sage and possibly accounts/book-keeping and have been thrown in the deep end as you said and I highly reccomend taking a sage computerised accounting course which will help you with other basic accounting features and procedures. I would hope you current employer however has provided you with at least basic training as to the procedures and expectations they require from their accounts department?

Any other questions please ask and we'll help but i don't reccomend using forums as a substitute for proper training in your field - i'ts just not the same.

Best Regards, Steve
