Zahlungseingang (EN)

Zahlungseingang

The payment receipt refers to the receipt of a payment into the creditor's bank account and confirms the fulfillment of the payment obligation by the debtor. It is the decisive indicator of whether an invoice has been paid and whether a dunning process needs to be initiated. The verification of the payment receipt usually takes place after the agreed payment deadline has expired. A timely payment receipt is of crucial importance for the liquidity of a company.
