ORDER-TO-CASH CONSULTANCY
The Complete Order-to-Cash Process: Eight Essential Steps
The order-to-cash (O2C) process covers every activity from approving a customer and receiving an order to collecting, applying and reporting the cash. When these stages work as one connected process, businesses can improve cash flow, reduce debtor days and deliver a better customer experience.
What are the steps in the O2C cycle?

Assess customer credit risk, agree payment terms and set appropriate credit limits before exposure grows.
Order Management and Processing
Capture and validate orders, prices, purchase orders and customer requirements accurately.
Order Fulfilment and Service Delivery
Deliver products or services against agreed specifications, milestones and timescales.
Customer Invoicing and Billing
Issue complete, accurate invoices promptly using verified fulfilment and customer data.
Accounts Receivable and Credit Control
Monitor receivables, communicate before due dates and collect overdue balances consistently.
Payment Processing and Cash Application
Match receipts to open invoices quickly and post accurate entries to the general ledger.
