Creditor Proposal Preparation & Submission

Q: Can the automation handle counter-proposals or creditor requests for changes?

The automation logs all creditor responses and flags counter-proposals for manual review by the operations team. Staff can then adjust terms and regenerate the proposal if needed.

Q: Will existing proposal data and history be affected?

No. The automation integrates with your existing accounting software and spreadsheets without overwriting historical data.

Q: How does the automation know which settlement terms to apply?

The automation uses your predefined business rules, compliance thresholds, and settlement policies to calculate terms. These rules are configured during setup and can be adjusted as your policies change.

Q: What if a debtor's financial data is incomplete or outdated in the accounting system?

The automation flags missing or outdated records and alerts the finance team so they can update the data before proposal generation. This prevents incomplete proposals from being sent.

Key features:

Extract debtor financial data automatically from accounting software and flag missing or outdated records

Calculate settlement terms, repayment schedules, and interest rates using business rules and compliance thresholds

Generate formatted proposal documents with debtor details, financial summaries, and signature blocks

Submit proposals to creditors via email and log submission details with timestamps and contact information

Track creditor responses and set up automated follow-up reminders for non-responses

Maintain a complete audit trail of all proposals, submissions, and responses in a centralized log

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Proposal Request Receivedtrigger

A new proposal request is logged in the system, either via email or a form submission. The automation pulls the debtor account ID and initiates the workflow.

2. Extract Financial Data

The automation queries for the debtor's latest balance, payment history, and financial statements. Data is formatted and stored for proposal generation.

3. Calculate Settlement Terms

The automation analyzes the financial data and calculates proposed repayment schedules, interest rates, and settlement discounts based on pre-configured rules.

4. Generate Proposal Document

The automation populates a proposal template with debtor details, financial summary, and settlement terms. The document is formatted and exported as PDF.

5. Legal Review Required?

The system checks if the proposal meets compliance thresholds. High-value or complex proposals are flagged for manual legal review.

6. Submit Proposal

The automation sends the proposal to the creditor with a pre-written cover letter and request for acknowledgment.

7. Log Submission

Submission details, including date, creditor contact, and follow-up deadline, are automatically recorded and notification is sent to the team.
