situation before a sale is initiated. It also allows proactively managing delayed payments. It
streamlines management of disputes in the Business Partner’s sales invoices. It ultimately reduces
Days sales outstanding (DSO), improves the working capital. Assists in lowering operating costs and
minimize bad debt and write-offs. In the earlier SAP ECC 6.0, RM was referred to as Financial Supply
Chain Management (FSCM).
