Change history
Version 1.1.0:
Rebuilt the ‘Paid On-Time’ formula and classification. The new method classifies invoices into Early, On-Time, and Late, and distinguishes between cash discount and non-cash discount invoices. The new calculation dynamically adjusts the due date per invoice line depending on the cash discount amount taken, removing the possibility of an invoice being flagged as an early payment due to a cash discount being taken.
For Invoices with no cash discount taken, the latest payment term is used to calculate the invoice due date.
For Cash Discount Invoices, the amount taken is compared against the Cash Discount available in the payment terms.
When the cash discount taken is equal or less than the middle payment term cash discount amount, then the middle payment term is used as the due date for the On-Time Payment calculation.
When the cash discount taken is greater than the middle payment term cash discount, then the earliest payment term is used to calculate the Invoice due date.
Added new KPIs and inefficiencies to the Days Payable Outstanding use case tab:
Maximum DPO based on Best terms KPI
Maximum DPO based on PO terms KPI
Unfavorable PT mismatch (Inv/PO) Inefficiency
