Frequently Asked Questions
In simple terms, Dynamic Discounting is the offering of discounts in exchange for early payment on unpaid approved invoices for services or products delivered by a supplier. It is a kind of self-adjusting discount scale agreement between a supplier and the buyer that gives the buyer more flexibility to choose how and when to pay their suppliers in exchange for a lower price or discount for the purchased commodities or services.
Dynamic discounting was first invented and patented in the early 2000s by Xign Corporation (later acquired by JP Morgan) to help businesses utilise this facility and establish early payment terms with suppliers. Since then, there have been several software tools targeting dynamic discounting as a feature of procure-to-pay automation products.
