Accounts receivable questions
Does receivables support include deciding customer disputes?
Customer and commercial decisions remain with your designated owner. Agree how queries are recorded, escalated and resolved.
Can follow-up use our own wording and process?
Discuss approved messaging, timing, escalation and communication channels when scoping support. The workflow should reflect your customer relationships.
How are unmatched payments handled?
Record the payment and available references, identify the missing information and route the allocation question to the agreed reviewer.
Are credit notes or write-offs included?
These require explicit scope and approval. Your authorized reviewer decides the adjustment; routine receipt allocation does not authorize a credit or write-off.
