Gain a better understanding of terms pushback strategy (TPS) and how to effectively manage customers who extend payment terms.
Credit teams are witnessing more customers disregard supplier-set terms and unilaterally extending these terms with a so-called terms pushback strategy (TPS). While TPS allows the customer to preserve working capital, improve cash flow and grow inventory, the supplier's DSO and profit margin suffers. A key metric for the customer's finance team is now days payable outstanding.
