Discount Management
When closing a deal with a new customer, the challenge does not end when you have the contract or purchase order in hand - it ends when you receive payment. However, with minimal control over when customers pay, combined poor visibility into the status of outstanding invoices, creates cash flow challenges for your business.

By using electronic invoicing on the Ariba Supplier Network, you can see at a glance which invoices will be paid when-and which invoices have failed to receive customer approval, so you can resolve problems quickly.

Further, with the Discount Management program on the Ariba Supplier Network, you can see all of your outstanding invoices, negotiate early payment discounts with your customers, and finally have the cash flow predictability and control you need to manage your business.

How it works
Through the Ariba Supplier Network, an early pay discount can be set up with in three ways

  • Standing early payment terms that apply to every invoice you send
  • Buyer-initiated dynamic discounting feature to negotiate specific discount terms in exchange for early invoice payment
  • Supplier-initiated dynamic discounting where you take the initiative by offering customers specific discounts in exchange for early payment on approved invoices

The Ariba Supplier Network and Discount Management program make it easy for you to have:

  • Early Payments for all payments or on an invoice by invoice basis
  • Predictable payments to forecast cash flow
  • Payment and Cash Flow Visibility through the Ariba Supplier Network
  • Attractive Rates by leveraging the buyer's cost of capital
  • Shorter order-to-cash cycle, receive payment in days instead of months
