Collaterals


In case of not being able to collect the price of the sale on time or not at all, the companies develop strategies specific to their own institution. One of the methods to be applied in risky situations is "Collateral". Collateral is taken to limit or zero the risks. Collateral is an important element to ensure trust between business units.

Route: ERP > Finance - Accounting > Risk and Collateral > Collaterals
 
Suggestion: Receiving collateral facilitates the progress of the business without making the parties suffer.
Warning: Collateral is frequently used, especially in tender-type or project-based works. Collaterals are kept under record with the Workcube "Collaterals" page.
