Receivables Configuration and Setup
Map the Receivables setup dependency chain (system options → transaction sources and types → AutoAccounting → payment terms) and explain in writing why each step must precede the next.
Configure a fresh Business Unit's Receivables system options mentally on paper: list every field that affects numbering, currency, and accounting, and state the default you would choose and why.
Compare the four AutoAccounting rule types (standard, transaction source, salesreps, standard with conditions) and record which one wins when multiple rules match.
Differentiate transaction source and transaction type behavior for invoices, credit memos, debit memos, and on-account credits, noting which fields are inherited versus overridden.
Your checkpoint
A one-page setup dependency diagram plus a 15-row configuration decision table (field, default, rationale) covering system options, sources, types, and AutoAccounting.
Receivables Configuration and Setup & Revenue Management and Accounting
Configure and trace how Receivables derives the revenue account versus the receivable account for a single invoice line, naming the exact setup points that drive each.
Distinguish the accounting distributions produced for a completed transaction, an incomplete transaction, and an adjusted transaction, and explain when each is created.
Set up and describe the purpose of Receivables activities (freight, late charges, auto-adjustments, finance charges) and how each posts to the ledger.
Explain how the Receivables period status (open, closed, permanently closed) gates transaction entry, receipt application, and accounting creation.
Your checkpoint
A worked accounting walkthrough for one invoice showing every distribution line, the setup rule that produced it, and the resulting subledger journal entry to the general ledger.
Customer and Transaction Management
Create and maintain customer records end to end: party, account, site, and business purpose, explaining which level controls billing, shipping, and statements.
Configure customer profile classes and payment terms, then predict how changes cascade to existing accounts versus new ones.
Describe the customer merge and customer account relationship features, including what data moves and what is blocked during a merge.
Explain how credit limits, statement cycles, and dunning settings attach at the account and site level and which level takes precedence.
Your checkpoint
A customer setup checklist covering party, account, site, profile class, and payment terms, with a short note on precedence for each inherited attribute.
Customer and Transaction Management & Billing and AutoInvoice
Trace the full transaction lifecycle from entry through completion, adjustment, and posting, naming the statuses and the action that moves between them.
Describe AutoInvoice's processing flow (interface tables, validation, grouping rules, and the AutoInvoice master and line-level rules) and identify where a record can fail.
Explain grouping rules and line-ordering rules well enough to predict how interface lines become one invoice versus several.
Build a short list of the most common AutoInvoice rejection causes and the setup or data fix for each.
Your checkpoint
An AutoInvoice failure-triage table listing at least 10 rejection reasons, the interface column or setup involved, and the corrective action.
Billing and AutoInvoice & Receipts, Payments, and Cash Application
Differentiate manual receipts, automatic receipt creation, and lockbox processing, stating when each is appropriate and what setup each requires.
Explain receipt application methods (apply, unapply, on-account, unidentified, misapplied) and how each affects the customer balance and the unapplied cash position.
Describe the receipt reversal and reapplication process, including which accounting entries reverse and which remain.
Explain how payment terms, discounts, and adjustments interact when a receipt is applied to an invoice with an early-payment discount.
Your checkpoint
A receipt-state matrix mapping each receipt status (unapplied, unidentified, applied, misapplied, reversed) to its balance impact and required follow-up action.
Receipts, Payments, and Cash Application & Collections and Credit Management
Walk through the cash application and reconciliation cycle from bank statement import through receipt matching and any remaining open items.
Configure collections strategies, dunning letters, and collector assignments, and explain how an overdue invoice enters a strategy.
Explain credit management: credit checking, credit hold, credit review, and how an order or transaction is released from hold.
Describe dispute handling and how disputed items are excluded from or included in collections treatment.
Your checkpoint
A collections and credit workflow diagram from invoice due date through dunning, credit hold, dispute, and resolution, annotated with the setup object controlling each step.
Revenue Management and Accounting & Reporting, Integration, and Period Close
Explain revenue recognition setup for Receivables, including revenue policies, contingencies, and how revenue is scheduled and recognized over time.
Describe the period-close sequence for Receivables: reconciliation, posting to the general ledger, and closing the period, and name the reports used at each step.
Identify the standard Receivables reports (aging, transaction detail, adjustment, receipt register) and state the question each answers.
Explain the key integration touchpoints with Order Management, Cash Management, and the general ledger, including which system owns which data.
Your checkpoint
A period-close runbook with ordered steps, the report or reconciliation run at each step, and the owner of each action.
Receivables Configuration and Setup & Customer and Transaction Management & Billing and AutoInvoice & Receipts, Payments, and Cash Application & Collections and Credit Management & Revenue Management and Accounting & Reporting, Integration, and Period Close
Re-derive the setup dependency chain from memory and correct any gaps against the week 1 diagram.
Resolve a set of mixed scenario questions that span at least four domains, explaining why each wrong option fails.
Revisit every previously missed item and restate the underlying rule in your own words.
Take one timed full-length practice run and analyze results by domain to target remaining weak areas.
Your checkpoint
A final gap report listing each domain, your confidence rating, the top three remaining weak spots, and the specific setup or process to review for each.
Milestones
Week 2: You can state, without notes, which setup object drives the receivable account and which drives the revenue account, and trace one invoice to its journal entry.
Week 4: You can explain the AutoInvoice flow from interface table to posted invoice and name the grouping and line-ordering rules that apply, scoring at least 80% on a 20-question Domain 1-3 self-quiz.
Week 6: You can map any receipt status to its balance impact and follow an overdue invoice from due date through dunning and credit hold.
Week 8: Timed full-length practice run completed with per-domain analysis, and a written gap report identifying no more than three weak areas with a review action for each.
