Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] In order to solve the problem that the existing patents cannot adapt to the business characteristics of the scrap steel industry in actual use, resulting in the inability to accurately calculate the amount of accounts receivable, affecting related decisions and increasing the losses of scrap steel enterprises, please refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 , this embodiment provides the following technical solutions:

[0029] A method for managing accounts receivable of a scrap steel enterprise comprises the following steps:

[0030] Step 1: Establish an enterprise accounts receivable inquiry platform and set the inquiry conditions;

[0031] Step 2: Obtain accounts receivable data, and configure accounts receivable forms based on accounts receivable data. According to the access configuration information in the accounts receivable form, obtain the customer information to be settled. By establishing an enterprise accounts receivable query platform and setting query conditions, the accounts receivable management status of the target settlement customers can be queried according to any query conditions, so that scrap steel enterprises can quickly understand the accounts receivable status, improve query efficiency, and make query results clearer;

[0032] Step 3: Input customer information into the enterprise accounts receivable inquiry platform, determine the target settlement customer, extract the target settlement customer's beginning receivables, query the receivables dynamics during the period, and the end receivables;

[0033] Step 4: Determine whether there is any unregistered receivables based on the beginning receivables, the dynamics of receivables during the query period, and the end receivables. If so, total the unregistered receivables. By determining whether there is any unregistered receivables, you can understand whether there are any omissions in receivables, thus ensuring the integrity of receivables management.

[0034] Step 5: Determine the target settlement customer's credit status, overdue status, and aging information based on the beginning receivables, the dynamics of receivables during the query period, and the end receivables.

[0035] By analyzing the credit status and overdue situation of target settlement customers, the risk exposure degree faced by them can be evaluated, which helps enterprises identify potential bad debt risks and take corresponding measures to reduce losses. By obtaining the aging information of target settlement customers, it is possible to determine which accounts need to be collected first by dividing the aging period, thereby improving the collection efficiency and ensuring the recovery of accounts receivable. By analyzing the aging information of target settlement customers, the credit status of customers can also be evaluated. Customers with a large number of overdue accounts may have payment ability or willingness problems. Based on this information, credit policies can be adjusted to limit sales credit limits for high-risk customers. By analyzing the amount of accounts receivable in different aging periods, future collection time and amount can be predicted, so as to make capital plans and budgets, which helps enterprises better manage cash flow and ensure the rational use of funds. By understanding the credit status and overdue situation of customers, resource allocation can be optimized to ensure the effective use of funds. By strictly approving authority and clearly dividing the responsibilities of the sales department and the financial department in accounts receivable management, the occurrence of arrears can be effectively controlled, financial risks can be reduced, the management efficiency of accounts receivable can be improved, and the payment can be recovered in time to reduce bad debt losses.

[0036] Step six: Generate reports and perform visual displays based on the beginning receivables, the dynamics of receivables during the query period, the end receivables, and the target settlement customers' credit status, overdue status, and aging information. Generate reports and perform visual displays based on the beginning receivables, the dynamics of receivables during the query period, the end receivables, and the target settlement customers' credit status, overdue status, and aging information. The display method is intuitive, updated in a timely manner, the data is accurate, and it complies with the rules and business processes of the scrap steel industry. It can effectively improve financial management and operational efficiency, monitor the company's operations in a timely manner, and discover operational risks in a timely manner.
