The analytical app displays the Key Performance Indicator (KPI) Days Beyond Terms. It provides you with an insight into the payment history of your customers and indicates how effectively your company collects payments. A high Days Beyond Terms (DBT) figure indicates that your company is taking too long to collect payments. The app clearly indicates when predefined thresholds have been exceeded. You can view DBT figures in a chart or a table according to company code, customer, accounting clerk, and month. If you have just started a new business, you may find the Days Sales Outstanding KPI more helpful.

Key Features

  • View the total DBT figure on the KPI tile, for the last 12 months including the current month

    The DBT figure on the KPI tile displays the total number of days within or beyond the payment terms assigned to your customers.

  • View DBT figures by customer (top 10 beyond terms)

    You can view the DBT figures for 10 customers who have exceeded their payment terms by the highest number of days. For each of these customers, a DBT figure is calculated for the last 12 months, including the current month.

  • View DBT figures by period

    You can view the DBT figures for each month for the last 12 months including the current month.

  • View ratio of payments within terms and beyond terms

    You can view the ratio between the payments within and beyond terms as a percentage value, in a chart or a table. For information on how these percentages are calculated, see Calculation of Ratio of Payments Within Terms and Beyond Terms.

  • View thresholds

    The app warns you if the KPI figure exceeds predefined thresholds. For example, a warning could be set at 30 days, and critical could be set at 90 days. You configure these values in the KPI Modeler.

  • Follow Up

    If your company uses SAP Jam, you can post comments there. You can also send emails from this app.

You can also customize the display currency into which all amounts are converted and an exchange rate type for the conversion.

Note Note

If a DBT figure is preceded by a minus sign, this means that the payments were made earlier than specified in the assigned payment terms.

For information on how DBT figures are calculated, see Calculation of Days Beyond Terms.
