Collection & Receivables in the Comoros
The short answer
Collection in distribution usually fails for one reason: nobody knows the customer's true balance at the moment of the visit. The fix is for the rep to see — before selling — the balance, the ageing of the debt and the credit limit on their phone, and to issue the receipt on the spot so the balance drops immediately. In practice receivables are split into buckets (1–30, 31–60, 61–90, 90+ days) because a four-month-old debt needs a different intervention from this week's. Balances in the Comoros are tracked in Comorian Franc (KMF) against the payment term agreed with each customer individually, not a single term applied to all.
