Factoring is a type of alternative financing that allows you to take control of your cash flow by selling your accounts receivable to a third party (also known as a factor) to obtain immediate working capital. Now, instead of waiting for your customers to pay based on 30-, 60-, or even 90-day terms, you get cash immediately, and the factor collects the payment later.

Good customer purchases generate a profit for the seller, and I’m not just talking about gross margin. Gross margin is what’s left over after subtracting the cost of goods sold from the revenue generated by the sale.

(Yes, I know there are more automatic ways than writing something yourself, but when you know SuccessFactors you know that no SF system API’s look the same.). The structure of my solution is as follows: I have microservice #1 that merely exposes an ODATA API on top of my generic data model.
