(B/AR/CR) process is an interacting structure of people, equipment, methods, and controls designed to create information flows and records that accomplish the following:1. Support the repetitive work routines of the credit
department, the cashier, and the accounts receivable department
2. Support the problem-solving processes of financial managers
3. Assist in the preparation of internal and external reports

Cash Receipts Management• In the billing function, the goal is to get invoices to
customers as quickly as possible; with the hope of reducing the time it then takes to obtain customer payments.
• Having the B/AR/CR process produce invoices automatically helps ensure that invoices are sent to customers shortly after the goods have been shipped.
• Float, when applied to cash receipts, is the time between the customer tendering payment and the availability of good funds.
• Good funds are funds on deposit and available for use.

Cash Receipts Management• The following procedures are designed to reduce
or eliminate the float associated with cash receipts:– Checks
• High-speed electronic equipment is able to read the magnetic ink character recognition MICR code and sort checks at speeds approaching 100,000 checks per hour
– A charge card or credit card • A third party, for a fee, removes from the collector the risk of
noncollection of the account receivable. • The retailer submits the charges to the credit card company for
reimbursement. • The credit card company bills the consumer
– A debit card • Authorizes the collector to transfer funds electronically from the
payer’s to the collector’s balance. • Some retailers find the notion of direct debit attractive because
it represents the elimination of float.

The Fraud Connection• Many result from improper segregation of duties
– Custody of cash– Recording of cash transactions
• Lapping– Employee pockets cash/check received from customer
A– So that customer A doesn’t complain about missing
payment, employee credits customer B’s payment to A’s account
– So that customer B doesn’t complain about missing payment, employee credits customer C’s payment to B’s account
– This scheme comes unraveled when the employee runs out of hours in the day

Data Descriptions in B/AR/CR• A/R master data
– The accounts receivable master data is a repository of all unpaid invoices issued by an organization and awaiting final disposition.
– Two types of accounts receivable systems exist:
– (1) Balance-only system– (2) Open item system
![Page 18: The Billing /Accounts Receivable / Cash Receipts (B/AR/CR) Process Pertemuan 12 – 13 - 14](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042719/568139a6550346895da14271/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Balance-only system• In a balance-only system, AR
records show a customer’s current balance due, past-due balance, and the finance charges and payments related to the account.
• Each month, unpaid current balances are rolled into the past-due balances.
• Electric and gas utility companies typically use balance-only systems.
![Page 19: The Billing /Accounts Receivable / Cash Receipts (B/AR/CR) Process Pertemuan 12 – 13 - 14](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042719/568139a6550346895da14271/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Bina Nusantara
Open-item system• The open-item system appropriate in situations where
the customer typically makes payments for specific invoices when those invoices are due.
• In the AR master data, each record consists of individual open invoices, to which payments and adjustments are applied.
• On the customer statement of account, a “lump sum” beginning balance is not shown.
• Instead, all invoices that are yet to be settled continue to be listed, along with payment details.
• Also, each open invoice is grouped by aging category and aged individually.
• Monthly, or at specified times, the customer accounts are aged and an aging schedule is printed.
