Age 5Explain it to a 5-year-oldStart with a picture
Imagine using Procurement Payment Term Value to answer this question: value additional supplier payment days and compare them with an early-payment discount? Enter Annual eligible supplier purchases, Current payment term days, Proposed payment term days, and 2 other inputs; the calculator shows Net annual value of longer terms. Try changing one number and watch what happens to Net annual value of longer terms. The answer tells you Net annual value of longer terms.
Age 15Explain it to a 15-year-oldConnect it to the formula
Supplier solvency, supply continuity and discount eligibility should be considered before extending payment timing. The rule is Term value = invoice value × funding rate × additional days ÷ 365. Its input values are Annual eligible supplier purchases, Current payment term days, Proposed payment term days, Annual funding rate (%), Discount forgone under longer terms (%), and the main result is Net annual value of longer terms. Try changing one number and watch what happens to Net annual value of longer terms.
CollegeExplain it at college levelState the model precisely
This tool models one operating decision from explicitly supplied company assumptions. The implemented relation is Term value = invoice value × funding rate × additional days ÷ 365, evaluated from Annual eligible supplier purchases, Current payment term days, Proposed payment term days, Annual funding rate (%), Discount forgone under longer terms (%) to produce Net annual value of longer terms. Supplier solvency, supply continuity and discount eligibility should be considered before extending payment timing. The model omits unentered taxes, cash timing, legal constraints and market uncertainty. Compare the output with company records and a downside scenario before committing resources.
The decision this tool supports
Value additional supplier payment days and compare them with an early-payment discount.
Why the business model works
Supplier solvency, supply continuity and discount eligibility should be considered before extending payment timing.
Inputs and operating assumptions
This model uses Annual eligible supplier purchases, Current payment term days, Proposed payment term days, Annual funding rate, Discount forgone under longer terms. Keep currencies, accounting treatment and time periods consistent with one another.
The formula
Term value = invoice value × funding rate × additional days ÷ 365
What the calculator produces
The primary output is Net annual value of longer terms; it also exposes Working-capital financing value, Potential discount forgone. Change one assumption at a time so the comparison remains explainable.
Before using the result in a decision
This compact model cannot capture every tax, accounting, legal, market or operational condition. Compare the output with current company records, cash timing and the downside scenario before committing resources.
