Erlösverluste durch fehlerhafte oder verspätete Rechnungsstellung

Definition

Australian AR outsourcing firms highlight that generating error‑free invoices is critical because incorrect invoices are sent back for revision, delaying payment and harming cash flow.[1] They emphasise that accurate invoicing and maintaining AR files reduce bad debts and revenue leakage.[1][2][7][8] In high‑volume wholesale environments with complex price lists, rebates and freight charges, manual data entry and spreadsheet‑based billing frequently cause under‑billing, missing surcharges, or failure to invoice small jobs. LOGIC: Industry AR specialists state that efficient AR management prevents revenue leakage and bad debts.[2] For a wholesaler with AUD 20m annual sales and tens of thousands of invoices, a 1–3% systematic under‑billing or write‑off rate due to errors and disputes equates to AUD 200k–600k in lost revenue annually.

Why This Matters

The Pitch: Australian wholesale hardware and plumbing suppliers routinely leak 1–3% of revenue through invoicing errors, unbilled delivery/handling charges and unresolved disputes. Automation of billing, contract‑price validation and dispute workflows can recapture these AUD losses each year.
