Pricing Errors और Credit Limit Mismanagement में Revenue Loss
Definition
Manual credit approvals result in pricing terms (discount %, net payment days) and credit limits agreed verbally with customer. Salesman communicates to finance team; finance enters into ERP with 1-2 day delay. Invoices generated at wrong price or credit limit. Customer disputes arise; discounts waived to retain customer. Average impact: 2-3% revenue leakage per invoice.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: ₹3-8 lakhs annual revenue leakage (2-3% of wholesale turnover ₹3-5 crore); Typical case: ₹10,000 order at ₹100/unit invoiced at ₹95/unit due to wrong discount entry = ₹500 loss per order
- Frequency: Weekly (5-10 pricing/credit limit errors per 50 invoices generated)
- Root Cause: Manual verbal agreement → email confirmation → ERP data entry with delays and transcription errors; no single source of truth for pricing/credit terms
