The Marshall Islands passed a consumption tax in 2025 that applies to supplies made on or after 1 October 2026. Between those two dates sits every quotation, contract and recurring invoice a business raises — and almost no finance system can hold a rate and a date at the same time, including ours.
Somebody ticked "tax exempt" on a customer and the customer kept being charged. No error, nothing on screen, no reason to doubt it. The one-sentence test that separates a missing feature from a broken promise — and the afternoon that finds them in your own system.
A customer pays once. The provider tells you three times, or eleven minutes late, or not at all. Four failure modes, how each is caught, and the one that leaves nothing behind — plus why the retry only runs when somebody presses it.
A customer confirms on Tuesday, you deliver Friday, you invoice Monday. Between those points the commitment lives in a message thread — because there is no document for it. What follows from that, including why the credit check cannot fire any earlier than it does.
An aging bucket measures collection risk, and that is the whole of it only while the money holds still. West Africa contains both cases at once — a currency pegged at a fixed parity and two that float — so the same report, with the same columns, means two different things depending which office you are sitting in.
A customer pays half up front for something you have not made yet. That money is an obligation wearing the costume of revenue — and most systems have nowhere to put it except an invoice for goods you have not delivered. What that costs, and the marker that makes it recoverable.
The earliest sales record is a quotation. Leads, deals, stages and forecasts have no home — what that costs you in four specific ways, and why raising speculative quotations is the worst available fix.
A return is the money, the stock and the story — and only the first is a credit note. Credit notes here carry an amount and no lines, and move no stock at all, which is how inventory quietly drifts upward.
Exposure is the opening balance plus every open invoice plus the one you are raising. What the check measures, why paying frees headroom immediately, and the setting that silently switches it all off.
There is no commission engine and no targets here. What exists runs a scheme accurately in about an hour a month — and there is one join between user and employee that nobody warns you about.
The cheapest sale a business can make is the second one to a customer it already has — and the reason most do not make it is that the record of the first sale lives in a salesperson's phone.
Kenyan businesses lose far more to slow payment than to bad debt, and chasing harder is rarely the fix. Most late payment is friction you created at invoicing — plus the escalation ladder for when it is genuine.
Margin is rarely lost in one bad negotiation. It is given away in a hundred small concessions nobody recorded, by people trying to close a sale — which is why the fix is structural rather than motivational.
A sale is not finished when the customer says yes. It is finished when the money is banked, the stock has moved, and the invoice matches what was actually delivered — and the gaps between are where revenue evaporates.
