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.
