Commercial journey · Collections

Chase overdue money on a schedule, not by memory.

Keep open items, payments, reminder letters, and service consequences on the contract: Billing creates the invoice, Overdue matches and ages the debt, Dunning produces the letter run, and Provisioning can apply an agreed internet block.

Done means Visible · matched · actionable A pilot contract shows the open amount, a matched payment or return debit, the next dunning step, and the agreed service consequence.
  1. 01 Confirm the invoice source Make sure settlement runs create invoices, due dates, and SEPA or other payment paths on live contracts. Done when: a test invoice appears with the expected amount and due date
  2. 02 Import money movement Load SWIFT/MT940 bank files or accounting CSV exports into Prime Overdue. Done when: pilot transactions are visible against contracts
  3. 03 Match and clear Allocate transfers, return debits, and manual payments, including fees and remaining amounts. Done when: a payment or return debit clears or reduces the right debt
  4. 04 Set collection policy Define payment periods, dunning charges, indicators, and any internet-block thresholds. Done when: the next step for an overdue contract is automatic and reviewable
  5. 05 Produce reminder letters Run Prime Dunning against active contracts with uncleared debts and the Document Management letter template. Done when: a compiled PDF package can be downloaded and traced per contract

What to prepare

Separate the ledger from the letter run.

Overdue owns open amounts, matching, and indicators. Dunning owns batch letter production. Billing remains the invoice source; Document Management supplies the template.
