Photo by Pierre Bamin on Unsplash There are any number of reasons a business may pay beyond your terms of sale. Some of the reasons for paying slow are more serious than others, but they all impact your cash flow and your collection efforts.

Introduction Based on the experiences from several SAP S/4HANA projects, I can definitely say that adapting SAP Focused Build to the SAP S/4HANA project methodology is an essential key to success. Regardless of whether the approach is greenfield, brownfield or selective data transition, with all these approaches it is nevertheless important to synchronize the topic of SAP ALM with the project right from the start and thus at an early stage.

Business loans and personal loans are actually quite different and should be approached with different criteria, but it makes sense that most people think of them as the same. After all, most people have much more experience with personal loans than they do with business loans.

That means whenever I’ve craving one of their delicious cappuccinos, I have to visit the ATM first. Unfortunately, when it comes to withdrawing funds from your annuity, it’s not as simple as accessing an ATM and taking cash out of your checking account.
