Sapphire/ASUG 2009 Presentation – Leveraging SAP to Improve AR to Cash Flow Conversion Efficiency, Lessons Learned
Leveraging SAP to Improve A/R to Cash Flow Conversion Efficiency, Lessons Learned
In this economic climate, staffing levels are decreasing and at the same time customers are paying later than ever. Historically, increasing cash flow used to mean adding collections personnel. This option is simply not available in today’s recession. Learn how enhancing SAP accounts receivables workflows will immediately improve your AR performance.
Key Learning Points:
1. How to increase customer touches without increasing headcount.
2. Increase cash flow by ensuring that collection events are optimized to maximize cash flow.
3. Measurements and reports to highlight at-risk customers, late payment trends, and other A/R metrics including enhanced cash flow forecasting.
