- BC-260.20.10Payment SchedulingSelect which approved invoices to pay in each run from due dates, discounts and cash availability, and hold the rest deliberately rather than by default.
- BC-260.20.20Payment Run ExecutionGenerate payment files by method and currency, obtain release approval and send them to treasury for execution with a full audit trail.
- BC-260.20.30Payment Terms & Discount ProgramsApply standard terms, capture early-payment discounts when they beat the cost of cash, and run supply chain finance programs where they help suppliers.
- BC-260.20.40Supplier Payment InquiriesAnswer suppliers' questions about invoice status and payment timing through self-service and a help desk, so the question reaches the buyer rarely.
