Empresa en el Aula: Del Pedido al Cobro

A 90-minute, 4-round beginner Express simulation for Spanish vocational training (Formacion Profesional, grado medio), module 0446 Empresa en el aula of the Tecnico en Gestion Administrativa, in which the class runs a classroom company and its documentary circuit.

You are Nuria Calvache, the administrative assistant in charge of sales documents and collections at Cuadernia Distribucion, a fictional office and school supplies distributor in Alcala de Henares, through 2027.

Round by round you decide two things: the price policy and the purchasing plan in January, the customer credit terms and the supplier payments in April, the office support and the invoice control procedure before the September peak in July, and in October the response to a key customer who stops paying together with the year-end documentary closing; at each decision point the year is projected again with the decisions taken so far.

The document load drives the error rate: wrong invoices are returned, collected late or left unresolved, and the paperwork decides how fast sales become cash. Each round is scored on net profit, cash at 31 December, morosidad, the share of correct documents, days sales outstanding and sales; customer terms beyond the 60-day legal limit, or deleting issued invoices instead of issuing corrective ones, cap the score.

Spanish with English.
