AP Aging Report:
[AP AGING DATA]
Perform a comprehensive analysis of this AP aging report covering the following areas:
1. **Aging Summary & DPO Calculation**
- Summarize total AP balance by aging bucket (current, 1–30 days, 31–60 days, 61–90 days, 90+ days)
- Calculate Days Payable Outstanding (DPO) using the formula: (Total AP / Total Purchases) × Days in Period
- Compare our DPO to the [INDUSTRY] industry benchmark and assess if we are paying too fast or too slow
2. **Overdue Items Analysis**
- List all invoices past their due date, sorted by oldest first
- For each overdue item: flag the risk (late fees, strained vendor relationship, service disruption, credit hold)
- Identify invoices where we may have already missed early-payment discounts
3. **Vendor Concentration Risk**
- Calculate what percentage of total AP is owed to the top 3 and top 5 vendors
- Flag any single vendor that represents more than 20% of total AP (concentration risk)
- Identify vendors where outstanding balance has grown significantly, suggesting invoice approval backlogs
4. **Payment Prioritization Recommendations**
- Tier vendors into three payment priority groups:
- Priority 1: Critical vendors (utilities, key suppliers, those with late fees accruing)
- Priority 2: Standard payables (within terms, no immediate risk)
- Priority 3: Deferrable items (long-term vendors with flexibility, or disputed invoices)
- Given our cash position of [CASH BALANCE], recommend an immediate payment run amount and timing
5. **Red Flags**
- Duplicate invoice amounts from the same vendor
- Invoices held for more than 90 days (investigate for disputes or approvals stuck in queue)
- Unusual vendors or amounts that warrant verification
Present findings in a structured report with a summary dashboard table followed by detailed sections.Variables du Prompt

💡 Conseil d'Expert
Incluez les conditions de paiement de chaque grand fournisseur dans les données (ex. Net 30, Net 60) — cela permet à l'IA de calculer précisément quelles factures sont réellement en retard versus simplement anciennes en raison de délais longs.

Claude
Handles complex vendor lists and flags nuanced risk patterns well; for best results, paste the aging report as a formatted table with vendor name, invoice number, amount, due date, and days overdue.
ChatGPT
Use the Code Interpreter (data analysis) feature to upload your aging report as a CSV — ChatGPT will compute DPO and concentration percentages automatically and chart the aging buckets.
Microsoft Copilot
Ideal if your aging report lives in Excel — Copilot can analyze it in-context within your workbook and write payment prioritization notes into adjacent cells.
Gemini
Works well for Google Workspace users; reference your aging report in Google Sheets and ask Gemini to analyze it inline. Useful for teams already using Google Finance templates.
