Cash Application
Companies cannot properly reconcile the AR ledger and realize cash until payments have been properly matched and applied to the correct invoices of the right account. Relying on an outdated, manual process, can be time-consuming and labor-intensive, ultimately extending DSO. Furthermore, delays in cash application negatively impact a customer’s credit capacity for ordering goods or services, which then impacts a supplier’s business. Cash application automation often requires input from multiple data sources, including lockbox files, EDI files, other types of customer remittance information, and bank statements.
