Business Content for "payment history and ageing report"

Question

Hi,
We have AP and AR modules implemented in R/3. And recently the client is implementing Collections Management module in R/3. There is a requirement which has come in which we need to provide the a report by customer the past payments made for the last 6 months and the recievables ageing for 1-30 days, more than 30 days and 90 days. A  sample is:
Division                 Past-due payment history                                            Receivables Ageing
Customer         CM-5  CM-4  CM-3  CM-2  CM-1  CM                               1-30days   >30 days  90 days
A                     04/10  05/10  06/10  07/10  08/10  09/10                            150          200       300
etc, where CM = Current Month
After going through the requirement we have found that data for this requirement can be taken from AR module itself as Collections Management data is not being used. In this scenario, if I want to develop a payment history and recievables aging report in BW from AR module, which data sources can be used. I am new the finanace module so if any links to good stuff is greatly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards
Vijay

0FI_AR_4 datasource is the BSID/BSAD line items from R3 and the standard DSOs and Content will give you the ability to do aged debtor reports
You will have to create your own aged debtor reports in WB as the std ones are pants.
You create an aging bucket for each aging based on the following example criteria..
CKF 0-30 days = RKF 0-30 Days Open + RKF 0-30 Days subsequently cleared
(ie you are tryign to restate the ledger to a point in time)
RKF 0-30 Open is..
   posting date <= key date
   item status = 0
   net due date on a constant selection of 0 and -30
RKF 0-30 Subsequently cleared is..
   cleared date > key date
   posting date <- key date
   net due date on a constant selection of 0 and -30
For payment History - I wouldn;t bother with the standard KNB5 extractor (although you can have a look at ti) _ I find it a bit too high a level
I would create a realised payment terms report which looks at the following calculations:
  cleared date - net due date (realised payment terms)
  net due date - doc date (offered payment terms)
And then create a query for all item status = C transactions which aren't payments (ie not equal to doc type DZ) and show the above calculations weighted per Customer Payment Term
