 Days Sales Outstanding

 

The analytical app displays the Key Performance Indicator (KPI) Days Sales Outstanding, that is the number of days it takes on average for your company to collect receivables. A high Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) figure can indicate that your company is taking too long to collect money, and that your company is extending too lenient credit terms to customers. The app clearly indicates when predefined thresholds have been exceeded. You can view DSO figures in a chart or table according to company code, customer, country, accounting clerk, and month. If your company has been in business for a longer period of time, you may find the Days Beyond Terms KPI more helpful.

Key Features

  • View the total DSO figure on the KPI tile, for the last 12 months ending today

    The DSO figure on the KPI tile displays the total DSO figure for your company.

  • View DSO figures by customer (top 10 by number of days)

    You can analyze DSO figures for the top 10 customers with the highest number of days, for the last 12 months ending this month.

  • 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 SAP Smart Business Modeler.

  • Follow Up

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

The DSO app measures the time frame from the issue date of the invoice to the date you receive payment from the customer.

You specify the period for which you want to calculate the DSO figures in the SAP Smart Business Modeler. For example, you can set the period for 1, 3, or 12 months. For more information, see the following documents:

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