Last updated: April 3, 2025

What data is used for the reports?

Payt uses the following data to calculate reports:

  • Reports consider figures from a maximum of 18 months back. This period may be shorter if the first invoice was imported into Payt less than 18 months ago.
  • Data is grouped by calendar month.
  • Figures for the current month are updated at most once a day. As a result, reports might not display data from the latest import.
  • Figures for older months are not updated by default. If retroactive changes have been made to previous months' data, you can request the service desk to recalculate your figures.
  • Reports are always calculated in the currency in which the bookkeeping is conducted.

How is the Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) determined?

DSO = outstanding amount / average daily revenue

  • Outstanding = An invoice that has not been fully paid
  • Outstanding amount = The total value of all invoices still unpaid at the end of the month
  • Average daily revenue = The total value of all invoices from a given month plus the previous 11 months, divided by the total number of days in those 12 months

Note the following:

  • Credit notes are not included in the DSO calculation.
  • The month an invoice belongs to is determined by its invoice date.
  • If an invoice is partially paid, it is still considered outstanding. The full invoice amount is included in the calculation, which may slightly increase the DSO compared to a calculation that accounts for partial payments.
