Definition

The organizational structure in SAP Collections Management reflects the structures in Receivables Management in your company or group:

  • The teams that work together in receivables management are portrayed by collection groups . You assign a collection strategy to each group. Based on this strategy, customers are analyzed, prioritized, portrayed, and contacted.

  • You group the companies (company codes), whose receivables from customers are to be considered together in collection segments .

  • Using collection profiles that you assign to the business partner, you determine how the system is to determine the priority and processor of a worklist item.

Use

Collection profiles with segments, groups, and strategies influence the prioritization of a business partner in the worklist and therefore control the work of a collection specialist.
