Finance and accounts receivable

Receivables and open items in SAP Business ByDesign, in one question

Finance teams ask their AI assistant who owes what, how overdue it is and which invoices are still open for a customer. The answers come live from SAP Business ByDesign, with totals by aging bucket and links to the documents.

What people ask, and what they get back

  1. "Show our receivables aging by bucket."

    The assistant groups what customers owe into not due, 1 to 30, 31 to 60, 61 to 90 and over 90 days overdue, per currency, and names the customers owing the most.

  2. "Which invoices of Vandermeer Process are overdue?"

    It lists the unpaid invoices and credit notes for that customer with due dates, days overdue and amounts.

  3. "Who should we call first this week?"

    It reads the aging and names the customers with the largest overdue amounts, so collection calls start in the right place.

Security and data handling

Questions people ask

Is the receivables data stored outside SAP Business ByDesign?

No. It is read live when the assistant asks, returned and not stored. The audit log records that a look-up happened, not the figures.

Does it work with several currencies?

Yes. Amounts are shown in the document currency and totals are kept per currency, without converting them.
