1 PERFECTION IN DETAIL. WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

2 WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT OPTIMIZING BUSINESS PROCESSES WITH AN EFFICIENT RECEIVABLES MANAGEMENT IN SAP Reducing the number of outstanding accounts, monitoring customer credit ratings and billing are the key cost drivers in corporate finance, and they tie up large amounts of working capital. Corporates can reduce working capital and free up liquidity through streamlined and efficient business processes in their payables and receivables management. In view of system support for efficient design and streamlining of business processes in accounts receivables (AR), SAP offers numerous components that are fully integrated in the SAP ERP system and can be customized specifically to the processes and structures in your company. This gives you the opportunity to: systematically control your dunning process, determine and verify credit rating limits per debtor, bill receivables on time and send them electronically, monitor and process disputes completely and in a timely manner. The components SAP Credit, SAP Dispute, SAP Collection and SAP Biller Direct are integrated tools in your SAP system environment and enable an efficient payables and receivables management. SymQ helps you to set up an efficient receivables and credit management and, thus, supports you in optimizing your working capital. Jochen Stiebe Managing Director SymQ GmbH

3 SAP Working Capital Credit Dispute Collections Biller Direct We support you in implementing an integrated AR management in your SAP system environment and thus contribute to the minimization of your DSO and to a reduction of your financing costs. This facilitates the systematic optimization of your business processes. SAP Credit By implementing the SAP Credit module we help you avoid potential payment defaults and increase the profitability of your company by complying with contractual payment terms. In this context, we design efficient, system-based control mechanisms with you in order to reduce bad debt losses in your company. This gives you the opportunity to create credit profiles for business partners in regard to credit ratings, payment history, credit reports and credit limits and use the monitoring tool to cluster and analyze this information. SAP Dispute Resolving customer complaints, outstanding invoices and payment differences can be very timeconsuming and complex. By customizing the SAP Dispute, we enable you to process your AR disputes efficiently and with little manual effort. Each authorized accounting clerk in your company has a uniform view of all open receivables items that need to be resolved. An integrated analysis function with a connection to SAP NetWeaver Business Intelligence is available for determining the reasons for any payment deductions by vendors and customers. Additionally, you can create and send all required correspondence by using the integrated SAPconnect interface.

4 SAP Collections In order to avoid or minimize bad debt losses, we will implement together with you a professional AR management in your company with SAP Collections. With the help of SAP Collections we enable you to collect debts promptly, as this tool provides both AR staff and management with a user-friendly and intuitive system for the operative processing of receivables. This allows management to define specific collection strategies for collecting debts and prioritizing and assigning receivables per company or per accounting clerk. A personalized work list that is prioritized by the system gives accounting clerks a list of business partners that need to be contacted. SAP Biller Direct With the implementation of SAP Biller Direct we help you replace the individual manual processing steps in your accounting. The manual generation, processing, printing, enveloping and sending of invoices is replaced by an electronic generation, display, consolidation and sending of invoices within your SAP system. In this manner you can generate invoices electronically with data from SAP FI-AR, consolidate the data and make them available to customers in a customer portal. This gives your customers and business partners the opportunity to work with you directly in the billing process. It allows customers to easily receive, check, comment on, pay or settle invoices with an existing customer credit balance online or via portals or company-specific websites available for mobile devices. In this way, amount and due date differences can be determined more quickly, directly and easily than before, in turn improving communication with both customers and business partners.
