Major challenges within Accounts Receivable Processes

  • Too manual, repetitive and labour intensive
  • Time-consuming and closing cycle takes too long
  • Heavily paper-based process
  • Moving data across too many systems
  • Processing errors that cause delays

The Accounts Receivable Officer is responsible for:

  • Allocating payments within ERP
  • Ensuring exceptions are handled efficiently
  • Manually printing, sorting and processing email remittances 
  • Posting customer payments by recording cash, checks and credit card transactions
  • Updating receivables by totaling unpaid invoices
  • Resolving invalid or unauthorised deductions by following pending deductions procedures

The Credit Controller is responsible for:

  • Downloading and printing bank transaction information and all customer remittance advice, daily
  • Sorting remittances manually by descending total amount
  • Matching remittances against the bank transactions for each customer
  • Monitoring debtor balances to ensure a reduction in debtor's DSO
  • Reconciling complex accounts that have escalated from the Accounts Receivable team
