SAP Query for AR Aging Report

Question

Hello Gurus-
I am trying to build a query for Aging report, and would like to include something like this:
Customer-Reference-Payment terms-Due date-Current-31-60days-61-90days-91-120days-over120days-toatal amount.
I have an infoset which includes BSID, KNA1, KNB1. I have maintained local fields:
Due Date  =     Baseline date + cash discount days
Statement Date = My input date.
Current    = Condition (DUEDTE >= STATDTE - 30) formula (Amount)
31 - 60 Days = Condition (DUEDTE >= STATDTE - 60 AND DUEDTE < STATDTE - 30) formula (Amount)
61 - 90 Days = similar to above
91 - 120 Days = similar to above
Amount  = - 1 * (If Debit credit indicator = "H" then "Amount in local currency") otherwise "Amt in Loc.Cur"
Over 120 Days = similar to above
When I enter a statement date of today it works hunky dory...it all looks good...my current column looks good and do the rest. When i want to run this query as of couple of months ago (if today is 12/19/08 and i wanted to run my aging report for 10/31/08) it should give me aging as of my statement date 10/31/08 but it does not. It calculates the total amount as of today. I know because of local field "Amount" where i gave amount in local currency, but how would I tell that it should pick up amount in local currency till the statement date?
Any input in this regards is highly helpful.
Thanks,

Hi Ram,
On your aging report you want to see invoices which are still not paid (or still open) as of a certain date. This date is "key date". You need to define a variable for key date (which is normally system date if you run today) but it could be a past date.
So key date is let us say Oct 31st (X) and the system date is Dec 19th. When you run the report as of Oct 31st all invoices that are posted prior to Oct 31st (posting date less than X) and are still in BSID will show on your report. There is no issue here.
Let us say an invoice was created on Oct 25th (Y) and was paid on Nov 15th (Z). The clearing date is Z. That means if you run the aging report today this invoice will not show.
But you want to run the report on Oct 31st. This means X is greater than Y but is less than Z.
Clearing date and posting date are part of BSAD. Report run date is the user input and is a variable.
With the above concept and with the help of an ABAP programmer you should be able to solve the problem.
