I think we would need to define "current data." The aging report is really supposed to show outstanding amounts at a specific point in time, and how long the money has been owed. I would feel a little strange looking at aging reports to look for payments posted in the future. I am not even sure what a future-posted payment would be in real financial terms unless it's an error. The transactions and outstanding reports do not filter by date in this same way and so if you are looking for how much money you are owed by a customer, those would be preferable reports to use since at that point you aren't looking at how long money has been owed for. One possible case I can see would be a very different report, useful for looking at average periods between invoice and payment for various customers. I think that would need to be a separate report just for display reasons. > > The checkbox, if possible, would seem the ideal solution, defaulting to > off of course. > Something like "include payments posted after report date" > Hmmm... That would require breaking both feature and string freeze.
