Why is the amount due on the creditor age analysis less than the actual amount due on the detailed creditor transaction report?

Hello there, @ruth10.

Allow me to share some details why you're seeing some discrepancy between the Creditor Summary and Detailed ageing reports.

When comparing two different reports, the variables should be the same. For example, the Report period was set to All Dates on the Detail Report, and the Summary Report was set for Today. The Opening Balance between the two reports will show a different amount. 

I've added a screenshot of the comparison between these two reports:

The same scenario goes to other reports if the date was set differently when comparing it to another.
