neutral  Steffen Walter: Well, Chris, I don't think that this goes right down to "Inkasso". IMO it's rather general, encompassing the entire system the co. has in place to collect customer payments (including "Inkasso" as the ultimate option).

  -> Yes, it may well be the whole thing, and I see you have confirmed Dr. Rentsch´s translation for that sense. Hopefully it is clear from the wider context.
