One Result
Sales and collection are read together.
A sale that still needs to be closed is unfinished. A sale that has been made but still needs ordinary collection follow-up is also unfinished. Reading both sides together keeps the team focused on what is actually complete.
Sales aheadDo not assume the month is finished while collection actions remain open.
Collection aheadDo not assume the month is finished while sales actions remain open.
The Collection Follow-Up

Boundary: No stop-supply, interest charge, legal step, or any other measure beyond an ordinary reminder is proposed by this page. Any question of that kind goes to Finance, Credit Control and management, who decide.
The Board
Find yours. Clear the earliest.
Every open item has three things visible: what needs to be done, who owns it, and the date. When it is completed, mark it closed and remove it from the open list.
