FAQs: Late Payment Recommendations

How does the Co-pilot analyze penalties for late payments?

The Co-pilot evaluates penalty charges for delayed payments and compares them with the company’s cost of capital to recommend whether delaying payments is financially viable.

Does the Co-pilot consider vendor criticality when recommending late payments?

Yes, it assesses the impact of vendor deliveries on business operations and prioritizes late payments for non-critical vendors to minimize operational risks.

How does the Co-pilot evaluate vendor relationships for late payments?

It uses historical data to assess vendor tolerance for late payments, ensuring recommendations align with maintaining strong relationships and trust.

What scenarios does the Co-pilot identify for penalty-free late payments?

The Co-pilot flags cases where late payments incur no penalties, allowing businesses to optimize cash flow without financial consequences.

How does the Co-pilot incorporate cost of capital into late payment decisions?

It recommends delaying payments when the penalty is lower than the company’s cost of capital, ensuring optimal use of financial resources.

Can the Co-pilot update recommendations based on changing conditions?

Yes, the Co-pilot dynamically updates recommendations by monitoring changes in penalties, vendor status, and cash flow, ensuring real-time decision-making.

Give an example of when a late payment might not make sense.

If the penalty is 2% for every 15 days of delay and the company’s cost of capital is 10% annually, late payment would not make sense. The annualized penalty is 24% (2% × 12), which is higher than the cost of capital, making it uneconomical to delay payment.
