Leading industry: Cross Industry
Solution capability: Accounts Payable (S/4)|Accounts Receivable (S/4)
Scope items: Accounts Receivable
Description: The analytical app displays the Key Performance Indicator (KPI) Days Sales Outstanding, that is, the number of days it takes on average for your company to collect receivables. A high Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) figure can indicate that your company is taking too long to collect money, and that your company is extending too lenient credit terms to customers. The app clearly indicates when predefined thresholds have been exceeded. You can view DSO figures in a chart or a table according to account group, accounting clerk, calendar month, calendar year, company code, country key, customer, customer classification, display currency, exchange rate type, G/L account, reconciliation account, region, or special G/L. If your company has been in business for a longer period of time, you may find the Days Beyond Terms KPI more helpful.
