Supplier Finance and Invoice Presentation and Payment

摘要

A method implemented for processing invoices includes receiving invoice data for one or more invoices. The invoice data is received from a supplier and directed to a buyer. An approval for one or more invoices based on the invoice data is received. A request is received for payment for a dollar amount on a specific date. An optimized set of unpaid vouchers for the supplier is automatically determined. The set of unpaid vouchers is based on the one or more invoices and any other invoices for which payment is due to the supplier. A net value of all or part of the set of unpaid vouchers is equal to or greater than the dollar amount. The net value results in a minimum discount cost associated with the unpaid vouchers. A payment is initiated for all or part of the optimized set of unpaid vouchers for the supplier.
