Vendor aging data storage
This article describes the process of using external storage for vendor aging data. In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance, the Vendor aging data storage process makes the output available for export to an external system. When you run the process, the same aging report options are available to external systems. The details are included in the exported data.
It can be useful to make vendor aging data available to an external system for storage in cases where the output contains a large number of transactions. If the existing Vendor aging report times out because there's too much data, this feature provides an alternative way to get the same data.
Enable the Vendor aging data storage feature
Before you can use this feature, it must be enabled. Administrators can use the feature management settings to check the status of the feature and enable it if it's required.
- In the Feature management workspace, enable the Vendor aging data storage feature.
Run the Vendor aging data storage process
Go to Accounts payable > Inquiries and reports > Vendor aging data storage.

Set the remaining parameters as required.
Note
Transaction details are always included, and the processing is always done in a batch job.

Refresh the Vendor aging data storage page to see the batch name, batch runtime, and processing status. When the batch job is completed, the Processing status field is set to Ended, and the Number of aging lines field is set. If the batch job is recurring, the Processing status field is set to Waiting. Record the Execution name.
Go to Data management framework, select the "Vendor aging data storage" entity.
