This practice helps businesses manage cash flow more effectively and can improve relationships between Buyers and Suppliers by encouraging prompt payments.
SCF is a financial strategy where suppliers offer discounts to buyers for early payment and where invoices are paid early by a third party “Funder”.
Integrating SCF solutions unlocks working capital, enhances liquidity management, and strengthens relationships between buyers and suppliers.
Receivables Purchase solutions improve cash flow, as the Supplier receives funds upfront rather than waiting for payments from Buyers.
This solution enhances working capital, enabling suppliers to meet financial obligations and to invest in growth.
The Supplier Portal allows users to view PO's, invoices, receipts and payments at both the header and detail level. Users can also view deductions, chargebacks and other short payments, which can help them with payment reconciliation. Sophisticated document matching helps Suppliers understand PO status, remaining balances, and specific invoices charged against each PO. Users also have access to a document search facility, which allows them to find transactions easily and quickly. Supplier's can communicate with Buyers through an online and email based messaging tool linked to specific documents.

Most companies are pushing their standard terms from 30 to 60 to 90 days or even further. Paying suppliers early delivers a value above that of DPO extension or you wouldn’t do it. DPO extension increases CASH, and paying suppliers early increases INCOME. Both deliver value to the company but which is higher? If a company has cash available to pay suppliers early, the discount rate on the payment will be higher than the short term rate earned by depositing the funds. Paying suppliers early simply delivers a higher value. The hit to DPO will be minimal and you will increase income.
If the company does not have cash available to pay early, you can do nothing and pay suppliers at the net terms date, or you implement an SCF program where a Funder pays the supplier early. In this scenario you earn revenue on the difference between the discount rate paid by the supplier and the SCF rate charged by the Funder, and the Suppler is paid early. You as the Buyer generate income, and the supplier gets paid early.
A note about suppliers; Suppliers want to be paid early. They are willing to accept a small discount because they have an intrinsic cost of capital on their accounts receivable and getting cash in earlier allows them to invest and grow.
