Accounts Receivable

Reference Material

Tie each KPI back to the rules and workflows that keep your billing backlog under control.

Days Sales Outstanding

Measures how long invoices linger on the ledger so you know whether your rule book is moving cash faster.

Formula: (Accounts receivable ÷ Credit sales) × Number of days in the reporting period

Use it to tune reminders, retries, and segmentation rules so your backlog shifts into the good range.

Average Days Delinquent

Shows how far past due invoices sit before they are resolved, revealing whether your deposit and payout rules keep up.

Formula: Sum of past-due days for delinquent invoices ÷ Number of delinquent invoices

Adjust messaging cadences or payout routing when ADD drifts too high so deposits land consistently.

Receivables Turnover Ratio

Normalizes how many times you collect the receivables balance per period—perfect for spotting when your automation is catching up.

Formula: Credit sales ÷ Average accounts receivable

Higher ratios mean bulk actions and workflows are converting backlog faster, freeing the team for new rule definitions.

Collections Effectiveness Index

Compares what you collected to what was available, so you can tell whether the team is aggressive enough with retries.

Formula: Receivables collected during a period ÷ Receivables available for collection in that period × 100

Use CEI to justify when to tighten collection messaging or add exception-handling rules.

Cash Conversion Cycle

Tracks how many days it takes to turn cash spent back into cash received, highlighting which leg of the flow needs new rules.

Formula: Days inventory outstanding + Days sales outstanding + Days payable outstanding

Shorter cycles mean your billing automation is aligned end-to-end—translate that into explanations for finance partners.

Billing Velocity

Counts how many invoices you touch per period with automation—proof that RuleKit keeps the backlog manageable.

Formula: Total invoice touchpoints ÷ Reporting period (day, week, month)

A faster velocity lets directors see how many manual tickets you replaced with reusable rule sets.

Payment Success Rate

Tracks payment wins versus retries so you know which segments need new retry rules.

Formula: Successful payments ÷ Total payment attempts × 100

Segment the success rate by retry or exception rules to tweak messaging before revenue stalls.

Revenue Leakage

Shows the gap between expected recurring revenue and what posts to Stripe—an indicator of where manual patches still live.

Formula: Projected recurring revenue − Collected revenue

Use this metric to prove why new rule definitions are needed for refunds, credits, or complicated billing models.

Invoice-to-Cash Speed

Measures how quickly an invoice turns into cash in Stripe so you know if workflows are shrinking that span.

Formula: Total days between invoice issue and payment ÷ Number of invoices

Highlight this for finance when you start automating exception handling or reminder sequencing.

Accounts Receivable Aging Buckets

Breaks receivables into windows so you can assign rule sets or follow-up playbooks per bucket.

Formula: Sum of receivables in each aging bucket ÷ Total receivables × 100

Buckets feed action plans, letting the team know where to focus bulk actions or exception reviews.

Billing operations

What makes billing ops distinct?

Billing operations is the heart of how Accounts Receivable works, blending strategy, automation, and Stripe-native execution. RuleKit keeps your team focused on the backlog of internal feature requests while orchestrating workflows that reduce Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) and protect Net Revenue Retention (NRR).

Bulk action orchestration

Define reusable workflows for cancellations, retries, and metadata updates so you can run bulk actions without sharing CSVs or ad-hoc scripts.

Collections communication

Segment cohorts, craft messaging, and schedule follow-ups that tie directly to the invoices and rule sets you just defined.

Audit trails & approvals

Dry runs, confirmations, and contextual logs keep every operator action explainable, visible, and reversible.

Backlog intelligence

Turn backlog requests into measurable rule definitions with KPIs, priorities, and clear impact statements.
