收 — Receive DayCollect, reconcile, and close the loop.
Use 收 to pull earned value back in: invoices, reimbursements, credits, asset returns, access, introductions, and promised items. This is harvest—not new planting.
What Receive favours
Bring outstanding value home.
Receive is the Officer of intake and settlement. It supports accounts receivable, reimbursements, returns, reconciliation, promised favours, account recovery, and every practical step that closes an exchange.
Collections
Invoice, chase receivables, and call in commitments with professional communication.
Reconciliation
Match statements, clear credits and refunds, and settle ledgers for clarity.
Returns
Retrieve loaned equipment, keys, accounts, deposits, documents, and access.
Fast decisions
Do / Avoid — 30-second cheat sheet
| Do on 收 | Why | Avoid on 收 | Better day |
|---|---|---|---|
| Send invoices and a dunning sequence | The day favours intake and settlement. | Brand-new launches | 開 / 成 |
| Reconcile AR/AP and issue refunds or credits | Clean books create cleaner leverage. | Price re-anchoring and renegotiation | 平 → 定 |
| Collect assets, keys, and access | Closes risk and operational leakage. | Terminations or teardowns | 破 · Break |
| Follow up on promised items or introductions | Reciprocity is ripe to convert. | Grand public relations campaigns | 開 · Open |

Friendly Dunning Sequence
Hi {{Name}}, accounting shows {{amount}} outstanding for {{scope}}. Can you confirm payment date or preferred plan—today, seven days, or fourteen days? I’ll mark it once received.”
- T+3: attach invoice and payment link; offer two or three tranches.
- T+10: state the account-hold date.
- T+20: escalate per contract using factual language.
Payment Plan Anchor
Reconciliation Sprint
- Match the bank feed against the ledger.
- Resolve exceptions and post credits or refunds.
- Close stale purchase orders and issue statements for sign-off.
Asset Return
- List hardware, keys, accounts, and other access.
- Set the return window and method.
- On receipt, revoke access, update inventory, and archive evidence.
Keep every collection communication professional, documented, and aligned with local rules.
Finish the exchange
Call in favours without sounding needy.
Close the item or favour
“Quick wrap-up on {{item / favour}}—can you send it over or confirm a pick-up time today or tomorrow? I’ll mark it closed once done.”
Ask for the agreed refund
“We agreed on {{credit / refund}} for {{issue}}. Please process it today; I’ll confirm once it hits.”
Convert warm goodwill
Ask for the introduction, testimonial, reference, or promised support now. Keep the tone matter-of-fact and specific.
Collection checklist
A professional collection leaves a clean record.
Name the amount, asset, favour, credit, or access item that remains outstanding.
Attach the invoice, agreement, return list, or earlier written confirmation.
Offer a narrow payment plan, collection window, or return method where appropriate.
Acknowledge receipt, update the ledger or inventory, revoke access, and close the record.
Stacking and sequences
Create value first. Collect it now. Seal it next.
Fulfil and document the outcome on Full, then collect the money or asset on Receive.
Complete signatures and purchase orders on Settle, then invoice on Receive.
After funds and assets arrive, seal, archive, and formally close the matter.
Showcase the completed result on Success, then convert the attention into payment.

Quick answers
Receive Day FAQ
Can I start new projects on 收?
Do not waste the current. Close and collect today; start the new project on 開 (Open) or 建 (Establish).
Can I take hard collection or legal action today?
If necessary, keep it factual and by the book. If it escalates into termination or teardown, schedule 破 (Break).
Why did 收 repeat across two days?
A solar-month rollover can repeat an Officer because the difference between the day and month branches remains constant. It is correct: use day one to prepare and day two to complete.
