About

A vendor's terms offer a discount for paying inside a window. Most bills sit until the due date anyway. This operator reads each open bill with its payment term: discountPercent and discountDateCalculation on Business Central payment terms, discountpercent and daysuntilexpiry on NetSuite terms, DISCAMOUNT and DISCDAY on Sage Intacct AP terms. It reads the cash you have to work with: the available and pending balance in Stripe if you sell online, and the cash position row your treasury keeps in a Google Sheet.

Each week, or each day before a discount lapses, it proposes which bills to pay early, in what order, and what each early payment saves. You approve the list. The payments are then entered as vendor payment journal lines for your normal payment run, never sent by this operator.

This is a reference listing. It documents what Fibric would read from Early Pay Discount and what it could propose, based on the vendor's published interfaces. Fibric builds it under a managed deployment when you request it; selecting it here installs nothing.

Inputs

  • Business Central purchaseInvoices in Open status with dueDate, paymentTermsId, and totalAmountIncludingTax, and their vendor
  • Business Central paymentTerms with dueDateCalculation, discountDateCalculation, and discountPercent
  • NetSuite term records with daysuntilnetdue, discountpercent, and daysuntilexpiry, or the date-driven equivalents
  • Sage Intacct APBILL records with WHENDUE, TERMNAME, and TOTALDUE, and APTERM records with DISCDAY, DISCAMOUNT, and DISCPERCAMN
  • The Stripe Balance object's available and pending amounts, and the cash position row in the Google Sheet you name, as the cash to plan against
  • Payments already entered in the vendor payment journal, so a bill is not proposed twice

Proposed actions

  • Target capability: propose a ranked list of bills to pay before their discount date, each with the discount amount and the cash it uses
  • Target capability: propose Business Central vendorPayment journal lines for the approved bills, with appliesToInvoiceNumber and postingDate set to the pay date
  • Target capability: propose skipping a discount where taking it would push cash below the floor you set, with the shortfall shown
  • Target capability: propose a reminder the day before a discount lapses on a bill still unapproved

Proposed actions are target capabilities. Every action runs propose-first and needs a validated deployment and the appropriate permissions.

What you can build

  • Take the discount that beats the cash floor

    Business Central purchaseInvoices in Open status whose paymentTerm carries a discountPercent are ranked by discount date. Each week you approve a list; the approved ones become vendorPayment journal lines.

    With Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central

  • Plan against what Stripe will pay out

    The Stripe Balance's available and pending amounts are read alongside NetSuite bills with daysuntilexpiry. Bills whose discount date falls after the pending funds settle are proposed; others are held.

    With Stripe, NetSuite

  • Keep Sage Intacct bills inside the discount window

    APBILL records whose APTERM has a DISCDAY are listed with the computed discount date and DISCAMOUNT, against the cash row in your treasury sheet. A reminder is proposed the day before a discount lapses unapproved.

    With Sage Intacct, Google Sheets

Requirements

  • A ledger connector with vendor bills and payment terms: Business Central, NetSuite, or Sage Intacct
  • A cash source: the Stripe Balance object, a Google Sheet with your cash position, or both
  • A cash floor below which no early payment is proposed, and the days ahead it may plan
  • Terms recorded on each bill in the ledger. A bill with no term is listed, never ranked.
Authentication
It moves no money and holds no bank credentials. It reads bills, terms, and balances through the ledger, payment, and file connectors you attach, with the scopes you grant.

Limits

  • It reads the discount from the term on the bill. A discount agreed by email and not on the term is not seen.
  • The Stripe Balance shows what is available and pending. It does not forecast receipts beyond that.
  • Where the ledger exposes terms but no discount date on the bill, the date is computed from the term and invoice date, and marked computed.
  • It pays nothing on its own. Approved lines go into your payment journal for your usual run.

Questions and answers

What does approval actually release?
A list of bills to pay early, each with the discount amount, the pay date, and the cash left after it. Approving writes vendor payment lines to the ledger's payment journal. Your payment run, and your bank, still send the money.
How does it decide the order?
By the rules you set: discount date first, then discount amount, with the cash floor applied after each line. The proposal shows the ranking and the balance after each bill so you can reorder or remove any of them.
Could it ever pay a vendor by itself?
No. It has no path to a bank. It proposes journal lines that a person approves, and those are entered once. Sending the payment stays with your existing run.
