A Connected Power BI Reporting Solution for Receivables, Ageing, Customer Exposure, Sales and Collections
Accounts receivable reporting involves more than identifying outstanding balances. Receivables can be examined by ageing, customer, region, sector, business segment, legal status, sales activity and collection performance.
This project brings these views together through an interactive Power BI reporting environment designed to classify, filter and analyse the overall accounts receivable portfolio and its movement over time.
The solution provides visibility across:
- Total receivables exposure
- Past-due receivables
- Ageing buckets
- Receivables by region and business segment
- Government receivables
- Private receivables excluding legal
- Legal receivables
- Customer-level exposure
- Credit sales and collections
- Monthly sales and collection trends
- 2026 sales performance
- 2026 collection performance
The dashboard creates a connected analytical journey from overall receivables exposure to ageing, customer analysis and collection trends.
From Receivables Data to Actionable Analysis
Building a Structured View of the Receivables Portfolio
Accounts receivable data can come from different business systems and structured data sources. The challenge is to organize that information so users can examine outstanding balances from multiple perspectives without separating the analysis across different reports.
This project provides a structured receivables reporting framework that allows users to move through different levels of analysis.
The dashboard suite is organized around five primary areas:
Overall Receivables - Understand the size and current position of the receivables portfolio.
Ageing & Past Due - Classify outstanding balances based on their ageing.
Business Segmentation - Analyse receivables across regions, government, private and legal categories.
Customer Exposure - Identify customers contributing to the receivables position.
Sales & Collections - Compare credit sales and collection activity across years and months.
This creates a natural analytical path:
Overall Exposure → Ageing → Business Segment → Customer → Collection
Overall Receivables & Ageing
Establishing the Current Receivables Position
The Total Receivables – Ageing Report provides the primary view of the receivables portfolio.
The dashboard presents headline measures including:
- Total Exposure
- Past Due
- Over 2M
- Future Maturity

Users can further filter the receivables position by dimensions such as:
- Company Name
- Division Name
- Customer ID
- Customer Name
- Region / Branch Name
- Account Name
- Cost Center
A date range selector provides additional control over the reporting period.
Ageing Bucket Analysis
The solution is designed to classify receivables into defined ageing categories:
- Less than 2 Months
- 2 to 6 Months
- 6 to 12 Months
- 1 to 2 Years
- Over 2 Years
This provides a structured way to examine outstanding receivables according to how long balances have remained open.
ZT Receivables Book
Tracking Receivables Exposure Across Reporting Periods
The ZT Receivables Book introduces a historical perspective to the receivables portfolio.
The dashboard compares Total Exposure and Past Due across reporting periods and presents corresponding month-over-month and year-over-year changes.

The reporting view includes:
- Total Exposure
- Total Exposure MoM %
- Total Exposure YoY %
- Past Due
- Past Due MoM %
- Past Due YoY %
- Sum > 2M
- >60 Day MoM %
- >60 Day YoY %
The supporting historical chart compares Total Exposure, Past Due and Sum > 2M, allowing users to observe how the receivables portfolio has changed over time.
This creates a connection between the current receivables position and its historical movement.
Receivables by Region
Understanding the Distribution of Receivables
The Receivables Report – Region provides a segmented view of receivables across reporting periods.

The stacked chart presents the composition of Total Exposure across the available regional categories while maintaining the historical perspective.
The dashboard also provides navigation across multiple analytical dimensions:
Product | Division | Region | Account Type | Sector
This allows the same receivables dataset to be examined from different business perspectives.
The regional view therefore provides a bridge between the overall receivables position and more detailed business segmentation.
ZT Overall Receivables Trend
Connecting Portfolio Trends With Customer Exposure
The ZT Overall Receivables Trend provides a broader historical view of the receivables portfolio.
The main trend tracks:
- Total Exposure
- Past Due
- Sum > 2M
The dashboard also brings two additional perspectives into the same view.
Private Credit Sales and Collection by Year

Total Sales and Total Collection are compared across reporting years, providing a historical view of credit sales and collection activity.
Top 10 Overall Customers
The customer table provides visibility into leading customer exposures through measures including:
- Total Exposure
- Past Due
- Sum > 2M
- 2025 Collection
- 2026 Collection
This combines portfolio-level trends with customer-level exposure and collection information.
Government Receivables Trend
A Dedicated View of Government Receivables

The Government Receivables Trend provides a focused view of government-related receivables.
The historical trend tracks:
- Total Exposure
- Past Due
- Sum > 2M
The dashboard also includes Government Credit Sales and Collection by Year, providing a view of sales and collection activity across the reporting period.
A Top 10 Government Customers table provides customer-level visibility across:
- Total Exposure
- Past Due
- Sum > 2M
- 2025 Collection
- 2026 Collection
This creates a dedicated view of government receivables from portfolio-level movement to individual customer exposure.
Private Receivables Trend Excluding Legal
Analysing the Private Receivables Portfolio
The Private Receivables Trend Excluding Legal focuses on the private receivables portfolio outside the legal category.

The historical trend provides visibility into:
- Total Exposure
- Past Due
- Sum > 2M
The dashboard also includes Private Credit Sales and Collection by Year, allowing users to compare sales and collection activity over multiple reporting periods.
The Top 10 Private Customers table adds customer-level analysis across:
- Total Exposure
- Past Due
- Sum > 2M
- 2025 Collection
- 2026 Collection
This provides a focused view of private receivables while keeping the broader historical context.
Legal Receivables Trend
Separating Legal Receivables From the Broader Portfolio

The ZT Legal Receivables Trend provides a dedicated view of legal receivables.
The primary trend tracks the movement of the legal receivables position across reporting periods.
The dashboard also provides:
Legal Collection
A year-wise view of collection activity associated with legal receivables.
Top 10 Legal Customers
The customer table provides visibility into leading legal exposures through:
- Total Exposure
- Past Due
- Sum > 2M
- 2025 Collection
- 2026 Collection
This allows legal receivables to be examined separately while maintaining the same analytical structure used across the broader receivables reporting framework.
Top 25 Private Customers
Moving From Portfolio Analysis to Customer-Level Exposure
The Top 25 Private Customers dashboard provides a focused view of customer-level receivables.
The table presents:
- Customer Name
- Total Exposure
- Past Due
- Sum > 2M
- 2025 Collection
- 2026 Collection
By concentrating the view on the top 25 private customers, users can examine significant customer exposure and the associated collection activity without navigating the full customer population.
This creates another analytical level within the receivables framework:
Private Portfolio → Top Customers → Exposure → Past Due → Collections

Credit Sales vs Collection
Connecting Credit Sales With Collection Performance
Receivables analysis can be viewed alongside the credit sales that contribute to the receivables portfolio.
The Credit Sales Vs Collection by Year dashboard compares Total Sales and Total Collection across reporting years.
The dashboard provides headline measures for:
- Total Sales
- Total Collection
The year-wise chart then shows the movement of both measures across the available reporting period.
This provides a historical perspective on the relationship between credit sales and collections.

Sales & Collection by Month
Adding a Monthly Perspective
The Sales Vs Collection By Month dashboard provides a more detailed view of sales and collection movement.

The monthly trend compares:
- Total Sales
- Total Collection
across individual reporting months.
This allows users to examine monthly changes in sales and collection activity and provides a more granular perspective than the annual comparison.
Together, the annual and monthly views create two complementary perspectives:
Annual Performance → Monthly Movement
2026 Sales Report
Examining Current-Year Sales by Division and Customer
The 2026 Sales Report focuses on current-year invoiced sales.

The dashboard provides a division-level summary across:
- P&S
- PP
- Rental
- Total
It also presents the Top 10 Customers Invoiced 2026, allowing current-year sales to be examined at customer level.
This creates two complementary views:
Division-Level Sales → Customer-Level Sales
The result is a focused view of current-year invoiced activity across the available business divisions and customers.
2026 Collection Report
Viewing Current-Year Collection Activity
The 2026 Collection Report provides the corresponding current-year collection view.
The dashboard presents collection values across:
- P&S
- PP
- Rental
- Total
It also provides a Top 10 Customer Collection 2026 view, highlighting customer-level collection activity. When viewed alongside the 2026 Sales Report, this creates a direct analytical relationship between current-year sales and collections.
2026 Sales → 2026 Collections

From Receivables Exposure to Collection Analysis
One Connected Analytical Journey
Across the dashboard suite, receivables analysis moves through multiple levels of detail.
01 — Portfolio - What is the overall receivables exposure?
↓
02 — Ageing - How is the outstanding balance distributed by ageing?
↓
03 — Segmentation - How is the exposure distributed across regions and business segments?
↓
04 — Customer - Which customers contribute to the receivables position?
↓
05 — Collection - How are sales and collections moving across years and months?
This structure connects the receivables portfolio with the customer and collection views required for deeper analysis.
Data Foundation
Flexible Sources for Receivables Analytics
The project is designed to support receivables data from a range of structured and business-system sources.
The stated source options include:
- Excel Sheets
- CSV Files
- Financial Database Systems
- Data Warehouse Systems
- Cloud Accounting Systems
The data can be structured into an accounts receivable model and presented through Power BI for dynamic analysis across ageing, exposure, customers, sales and collections.
The reporting approach is therefore adaptable to different receivables data environments while maintaining a consistent analytical structure.
