1. Cash Collection Quality Indicators

For each sample, check if:
- Title is appropriate for the dispute reason
- Dispute reason was correctly selected
- Notes of the dispute should have all necessary information to allow Sales/CSR/CM contacts to easily understand the issue and react quickly without going through a complex analysis.
Below some examples:
1. Incomplete content: "The customer states payment terms are 60 days net and not 30 days net as mentioned on our invoices".
- All relevant information (example: e-mail copy, contact person and phone nº) gathered when contacting the customer should be documented in the dispute, to facilitate the analysis from Sales/CSR/CM
2. Clear request: "Could you please send the Proof of Delivery to the customer and confirm when it's done? Thank you"
- Clearly ask Sales/CCS/ACM which action/decision is required from them
