Payer scoring

Settings > Finance > Payer scoring. Payer scoring tells you which customers pay well and which ones to watch.

What it does

Invunion gives every customer a score from 0 to 100 and a label.

LabelMeaning
GoodPays on time.
WatchPays late sometimes, or has some overdue billing. Keep an eye on it.
RiskyPays late or leaves a lot of billing overdue.

The score appears on each customer in the Counterparties list, where you can sort by it. It is built from your issued invoices over the last 12 months. It is a decision aid, not a credit rating.

The Payer scoring page: a Score mix slider at 70% payment timeliness and 30% long-overdue exposure, Score thresholds with Risky 0 to 59, Watch 60 to 79 and Good 80 to 100, the formula in words, and History rules with Fully counted after 30 days and Minimum invoices 3

How the score is made

The score has two parts, each between 0 and 100:

  • Payment timeliness: how late the customer pays. An invoice paid on time, or within 3 days of the due date, scores 100. The score falls the later the payment is.
  • Long-overdue exposure: how much of their billing is overdue. Nothing overdue scores 100, and the more is overdue, the lower the score.

Larger and more recent invoices weigh more. The Formula card shows the calculation in words, with your current settings.

Select Save to apply your changes. Every score is then recalculated.

When scores update

Scores are recalculated when invoices, matches, installments, adjustments or credit notes change, and once a day.

Limits to keep in mind

  • A customer with fewer invoices than the minimum has no score.
  • Incoming payments that are not matched yet can make a customer look worse than they are. Match them first.
  • Only issued invoices are used. Supplier invoices are out of scope.
