Reconciliation of total turnover with the clients and agreement on the outstanding balances invoice by invoice before they get into disputes
Identify key root causes of wrong invoices and influence processes upstream to have a permanent fixture
In the current BAU set up, none of the functions is responsible for identification of the real root cause of a wrong invoice. Current root cause analysis process is rather formal and usually finishes at the first "why" of the mistake.
Every participating function stays with their own opinion about why this or that has happened. It could be explained by the complexity and entanglement of the current processes, none of the function has a holistic overview to connect the dots and identify real root causes of particular problems
Usually it is not one particular action, but a combination of actions of different participants. That's why getting to the bottom of the issue is a time consuming effort and usually the solution will require changes throughout the whole process, with changes in the way of doing in every function participating in the E2E revenue recognition process.
This is a complex change management and administrative task, none of BAU functions has resources and expertise to take a lead on root causes identification, solutions development and coordination of solutions implementation. This will be a goal for the task force team.
