The audacity of a client asking for original files after going 12 months without paying.

I want to just put the overdue invoice in their Dropbox folder

likefunny

It’s mind boggling sometime that customers have the audacity to ask for material/deliverables without payment. Hav a customer who had a 150k credit line was at about 200k and when I asked them for the 10k for the order freaked out and didn’t respond so we didn’t deliver the material the next day. Get a call at like 10am “where’s my stuff” well you didn’t pay for it so we didn’t send it. Couldn’t wrap his head around the fact even though he owed us 200k we weren’t going to send it to him for free.

Sounds like clients to me. We had the same issue where a client made us do a billion abstracts and manuscripts and then goes “we’re kind of the at the end of bankruptcy” then proceeded to brush off every invoice and just not pay it.

Needless to say, they had A LOT of debt with us and they just started paying invoices from 2020 😭

Reminds me of a past job and I still don't know what people were thinking. The company I worked for took a contract after the previous service provider's contract expired. My company knew there were payment and service disputes but chalked it up to sour relations. Previous co was given 30 day notice....they abandoned the client immediately and we had to fill the roles before we were prepared. Fast forward 2 years...we dropped the contract because they hadn't paid in 18 months.

There are very few accounts worth carrying for over 90 days without any payments. Sometimes it is better to just fire the client and focus more time and energy on clients who have integrity in their business relationships.

Any SAP EWM fish in here? I am new to SAP and just finishing my first project in EWM. Would like to continue building Expertise in this Module.
I am therefore looking for advice on how to go about this?
Which areas within EWM to focus on or start with to build a good foundation.
I have not had formal training so just learning on the HUB and by doing as I go.
But I feel like I need to focus on one area. I cannot decide how/ what though.
Happy Holidays!
Thank you.

Those of you who have left consulting for Program/Project Management at tech companies (not Product), what do you think of the switch? Have heard anecdotally that work can be uninteresting and career progression suspect, but seems like a very chill, high paying exit. Does this differ greatly if it is technical PM? Would love to hear thoughts.
