Benefits of SAP Accounts Receivable

• The Accounts Receivable module is utilized to record andadminister the financial accounting transactions involving

customers. Characteristics of the AR module include: – Real-time integration with the General Ledger

– Integrates with the Sales and Distribution as a part of theOrder to Cash process

Accounts Receivable Business Process Definition

• The Accounts Receivable module is themodule that records and administers the

financial accounting transactions involving

customers.

Types of Payments• Full payment

• Partial payment

• Payment with residual items

• Prepayment

Full Payment• When a customer pays the full amount of an

invoice:

– The payment and invoice are cleared from thecustomer account

– The payment is posted and line items are cleared

against the payment

Partial Payment• The partial payment is applied as an open

• The payment remains open on account untilapplied against the designated line item

• Posting a partial payment:

– Is an alternative to opening a residual item withdifferences between payment and invoice

– Retains both the invoice and partial payment open

on account in original form until invoice is paid infull

Payment with Residual Items• Based on the customer remittance advice, the

payment and line items are cleared

• A residual item is created for the difference

• Posting a residual item:

– Clears the invoice and payment

– Creates a new receivable

Prepayments• Certain customers are required to prepay

before ordered goods are been shipped

Applying a Payment• Payments can be entered into SAP through

the Payment Fast Entry screen

– Enter payment document header information

– Enter payment details (invoice and accountnumber)

– Select open items to which payment applies – Clear open items against payment

working within differentmodules immediately afterdata is entered into SAP.

• Invalid or incorrectinformation entered into SAPwill have the sameimmediate effect as validinformation

• Backing out of information

becomes more complex andwidespread in an integratedenvironment

Master Data

• Master Data: Static data which represents things,rather than events (which is transaction data).

Master Data

Master Data: Material master,vendor master

• General Ledger Master Record

• Vendor Master Record

• Customer Master Record

Master Data Types

• All SAP end-users useMaster Data in someway

• The types of MasterData you use dependon the transactions you

are responsible forcompleting

• Some of the types ofAR Master Data used at

Maxim include:

Vendor

Provides consistentand accurate, up-to

date information

Benefits of using Master Data

Data is centrally

located

Data is entered oncein the SAP system

Eliminates dataredundancy

Increases dataintegrity

Data is accessed byall parts of the

business, whichsupports integratedbusiness processes

Master Data typicallyremains unchangedover a reasonably

long period of time

Each piece of MasterData is stored as a

record in SAPMaster DataMaster DataMaster Data

Master Data vs. Transactional Data

• Master Data is data that remains relatively

static static regardless of what other functions maybe performed in the SAP system

– For example: Material Master or Vendor Master

information – Addresses, Telephone Numbers,Units of Measure, Units of Issue

Master Data vs. Transactional Data (continued)

• Transactional Data is data that is relatively

dynamic dynamic , and changes according to the

transaction and business process beingperformed

Lockbox Customer Payments

• The Lockbox functionality allows for a bank to send customer paymentdata in a file that is in turn imported to process customer payments.

This process attempts to determine where to apply the payment andwill post directly against an invoice or customer account. If SAP can't

determine the customer, it posts to a specific clearing account in orderto be resolved.

Incoming Payments/Cash Application

Payments may be manually

entered from (not currentprocess):

- Checks

- Bank Statements

Electronic payments (such aswire, EDI, credit card, lockbox)will also post in SAP

Payments can be posted infull, partial, or residual

The Incoming Payments/Cash Application processfocuses on the posting of customer payments in SAP.
