Certify AP has a large set of reports which enable administrators and managers to analyze spend data. The Aging Report is a permission based report which allows users to gain visibility in aging transactions. This report specifically shows transactions that are pending approval. In addition to the report being real-time, it also allows users of the report to email the approvers who are holding up the transaction and allows users to escalate the transaction to the next level of approver.
