Receivables arise when a customer receives goods or services that have not yet been paid for. SAP Business One provides companies with a wide range of functions to efficiently manage and analyse receivables. The following is an overview of the central functions:
1. document flow and document linking
Receivables arise from sales documents such as quotations, customer orders, deliveries and A/R Invoices. SAP Business One maps the entire document flow and links the associated documents. This transparent visualisation makes it easier to track business transactions.
2. due date and Dunning
- Maturity monitoring: Each receivable is assigned a due date based on the defined terms of payment. SAP Business One monitors these deadlines and makes it easy to keep track of payments due.
- Automated dunning process: With individually customisable Dunning levels and dunning texts, overdue receivables can be automatically reminded.
3. open items and reporting
- Accounts receivable management: Receivables are managed as open items in accounts receivable accounting.
- Reports: Special reports can be used to analyse and monitor open items, for example according to customers, due dates or open amounts.
4. incoming payments and allocation
Incoming payments are recorded in the system and automatically assigned to the corresponding receivables. This minimises manual errors and ensures clear allocation.
5. receivables analysis
SAP Business One offers comprehensive analysis tools to monitor receivables in a targeted manner. Reports provide insights into:
- Maturities
- Average payment period
- Total amount of outstanding receivables
6. additional functions for extended receivables management
- Dubious claims: Individual value adjustments can be recognised directly in the system to reflect potential losses.
- Credit limits and customer behaviour: The monitoring of credit limits and the analysis of payment behaviour help to identify risks at an early stage and take action.
- Integration with other modules: Receivables management is closely linked to the finance, sales and controlling modules, which enables seamless processes.
