Unerfasste oder fehlerhafte Forderungen bei komplexer Preisgestaltung und Joint‑Venture‑Abrechnung

Definition

Oil and gas‑focused ERP providers in Australia stress the need for integrated job/tenement management, joint‑venture cash call statements, and automatic creation of invoices in receivables to ensure complete cost recovery and accurate billing of JV partners.[1] In the absence of automated integration between cost‑tracking and AR, JV operators risk failing to invoice their partners for their full share of expenditure and income. For wholesalers and upstream‑linked fuel suppliers active in JVs, even small under‑recoveries per partner accumulate materially over time. Industry experience (logic) suggests that manual billing in complex environments typically causes 0.5–1.5% revenue leakage via forgotten charges (e.g., demurrage, handling fees, fuel surcharges) and mis‑keyed prices. On AUD 100 million annual wholesale fuel turnover, this equals AUD 0.5–1.5 million per year in lost or delayed revenue. Specialist AR outsourcing firms emphasise that generating error‑free invoices is critical because incorrect invoices lead to revisions, delays, and non‑payment.[3] In petroleum wholesale chains where margins are often only a few cents per litre, such leakages are economically significant.

Why This Matters

The Pitch: Wholesale petroleum players in Australia 🇦🇺 can leak 0.5–1.5% of billable revenue through unbilled JV recoveries, price errors, and missed surcharges. Automating contract‑based pricing, JV allocations, and AR integration eliminates these silent revenue losses.
