Turn receivables into decisions.

A view of open receivables grouped by time since due date. Useful aging always preserves the customer, invoice, dispute and action context behind each bucket.

The matching of received payments to invoices, credit notes or other open items. Unapplied cash can distort both overdue reporting and collection priorities.

A system or manual control that pauses a defined commercial step when exposure, overdue or contractual conditions exceed an approved threshold.

The approved maximum exposure to a customer or group. A useful limit is monitored against invoices, open orders, work in progress and other committed exposure.

A documented customer challenge that prevents normal collection. It should have a cause, financial value, internal owner, target resolution date and audit trail.

Days Sales Outstanding estimates how long revenue remains in receivables. It is valuable for trend analysis but should not be used alone to judge collection performance.

The amount economically at risk with a customer, including open receivables and—where relevant—unbilled work, orders, inventory commitments and guarantees.

Receivable items not fully settled or cleared at a defined reporting date. The reporting cut-off must be fixed to make comparisons reliable.

The agreed trigger and period that determine when payment becomes due. Precise terms must distinguish invoice date, delivery, milestone and calendar conventions.

A customer commitment to pay a defined amount on a defined date. It becomes useful management data only when tracked against the actual receipt.

A control preventing release of goods or a serviceable unit until specified credit conditions are met. Its trigger, authority and exception path should be explicit.

An analytical measure that weights overdue value by duration and, optionally, risk or action ownership. It is a management framework—not an accounting standard.
