Overview:

Business performance depends on how well a company manages its internal processes. Companies with effective business process management in place are able to analyze key performance indicators to monitor efficiency of day-to-day activities and employees against operational targets.

Order-to-cash is a generic term used to encompass the business cycle that starts with reception of a customer sales order and ends with collection of accounts receivable generated in the sale of the final product. There are several sub-processes within the order-to-cash cycle, including: receiving orders, entering sales orders, approving sales orders, fulfilling orders, billing for the orders and collecting payment.

ERP solutions empower companies to automate many business processes formerly done by hand. But to achieve full return on investment in ERP solutions, businesses need to automate the documents that drive business processes.
