Use the following formula to determine your CEI: (Beginning receivables + Monthly credit sales - Ending totalreceivables) ÷ (Beginning receivables + Monthly credit sales - Ending current receivables). When the number drops below 80 percent, you should consider making changes to boost collections.
It involves intensive management of the customer’s totalreceivable balance supported by a substantial reduction in their credit limit. Such risk-based pricing is facilitated by grouping all high credit risk accounts into a classification that gets charged top dollar for your goods and services.
Eventually, the amount of AR over 60 days past due increased to over 50 percent of totalreceivables. Their sales volume was growing, but they had a collections team that unfortunately lacked focus, a strategy, standard process, and metrics.
Firstly, there are two main variables to consider: Ending totalreceivables: Your accounts receivable balance Total credit sales: The value of your outstanding invoices (usually given in dollars, pounds, euros, etc.) And annually enables comparisons with other years.

DSO Formula (Ending TotalReceivables ÷ Total Credit Sales) x Number of Days What Is the ‘Best Possible’ DSO? This generally manifests as monthly, quarterly or annually. Because it can be calculated and recalculated regularly, it shows a detailed picture of progress over time.
This number is displayed as a percentage: Collection Effectiveness Index = (Beginning Receivables + Monthly Credit Sales – Ending TotalReceivables) / (Beginning Receivables + Monthly Credit Sales – Ending Current Receivables) x 100 3.
(DSO alone may account for receivables that don’t directly correlate with credit sales figures in the measured time period, reducing its accuracy when compared with shorter-term CEI calculations.)
