Payment Habits Monitor in practice

A company moves to Business Central during the year. When the finance team prepares its Polish payment practices report, part of the transaction history is still in the previous ERP. The team needs to account for both settled and outstanding receivables and payables across the reporting period, including transactions originating before the migration.

Using Payment Habits Monitor, the team imports the relevant historical entries and prepares the analysis alongside transactions recorded in Business Central. It reviews payment delay categories, amounts and percentage shares, then checks the supported transaction and country exclusions against the company’s reporting scope.

The resulting figures give finance a common set of data to review before completing the reporting process. The team can examine the entries behind the analysis and print a summary for internal checks and audit documentation. With the recurring calculations handled in Business Central, staff can concentrate on checking source records, investigating unusual results and confirming which transactions belong in the report.
