kokonaissaatavissa

Kokonaissaatavissa is a Finnish term that translates to "total receivables" or "gross receivables" in English. It refers to the total amount of money owed to a business by its customers for goods or services that have been delivered or rendered but not yet paid for. This figure represents the sum of all outstanding invoices at a particular point in time.

In accounting, kokonaissaatavissa is a crucial component of a company's assets on its balance sheet. It is typically broken down into different categories, such as trade receivables (money owed by regular customers) and other receivables (money owed from sources other than normal trade, like loans to employees or tax refunds). The management of kokonaissaatavissa is vital for a company's cash flow and financial health. Effective credit policies, timely invoicing, and diligent collection efforts are all employed to ensure that these receivables are converted into cash as efficiently as possible.

An aging of receivables analysis is often performed to categorize outstanding balances based on how long they have been due. This helps in identifying potential collection issues and estimating the amount of uncollectible receivables, which may require the creation of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The net receivables, which is kokonaissaatavissa minus the allowance for doubtful accounts, provides a more realistic figure of the amount a company expects to actually collect.
