Payables Invoice Aging Report
The Payables Invoice Aging Report buckets open invoice liability by age (current, 1–30, 31–60, 61–90, 90+) so AP can prioritize payment runs and forecast cash. It reads the open installments behind the GL liability balance.
The question it answers
How much supplier liability is open, how is it aged, and which suppliers concentrate the risk?

Each row is a supplier's open liability split into aging buckets. The Current bucket is healthy payable; the 90+ bucket is where disputes and missed discounts hide.
$486,540 sits in 90+ days, concentrated in a single supplier — likely on hold rather than genuinely overdue, which distorts the cash forecast.
Traced to AP_PAYMENT_SCHEDULES_ALL joined to AP_HOLDS_ALL: the balance is held on a quantity mismatch. Resolve the hold or exclude held items so the aging reflects true payable.
This is the report's BI Publisher data model — the SQL data set BI Publisher runs against Oracle tables to produce the output. The same SQL becomes a dbt model in your warehouse, so one definition drives both the formatted report and the analytics layer.
Data sources
The data-warehouse model — one fact surrounded by conformed dimensions (what you slice by) and measures (what you aggregate), expressed as dbt so it migrates with you. Grain: one row per source transaction.
