# What will AGI do for Missed Early Payment Discounts?

## Overview

Accounts Payable teams at mid-market and enterprise companies routinely forfeit millions in supplier-offered early payment discounts, such as standard 2/10 net 30 terms. High-volume invoice ingestion creates immediate backlogs as clerks manually extract unstructured data, cross-reference purchase orders, and chase department heads for sign-offs. Because systems process invoices strictly first-in, first-out rather than by maximum financial yield, ten-day discount windows routinely expire before the invoice clears the approval queue.

The friction originates from the gap between rigid ERP workflows and dynamic treasury management. Invoices carrying high-value discount terms frequently get flagged for minor matching discrepancies, dropping them into manual exception queues. Human operators lack the bandwidth and real-time data to calculate the spread between an invoice's discount yield and the company's daily cost of capital, forcing them to abandon the discount entirely just to clear the backlog.

Traditional AP software routes documents but cannot dynamically reorder approval queues based on financial opportunity. These systems treat a high-yield supplier invoice the same as a standard net-60 utility bill. Consequently, treasury teams remain unable to strategically deploy available cash to capture guaranteed, risk-free returns from their own supply chain.
