What is Cope's Rule?

Payables refer to the various amounts that public organizations should pay in economic activities but have not yet paid. In other words, in the course of production and operation activities, due to the purchase of goods and materials, raw materials, and acceptance of labor services, the company should pay the unpaid unit. Includes accounts payable, notes payable, and other payables.

The finance department can also adopt a more strategic coping financing plan, which is more strategic in action, enabling suppliers to better control their cash flow by accelerating fundraising and outsourcing payment functions to banks. Although there is an option to discount the invoice to the bank, some suppliers will be able to take advantage of the company's relatively high credit rating to achieve lower liquidity. Other vendors can use this financing tool to consolidate invoicing globally, get more transparent payments, and expedite the resolution of disputed invoices. The finance department can use successful process acceptance to improve the company's DPO by negotiating with suppliers to extend the terms.

Supplier financing plans not only help to better cooperate with suppliers, but also reduce the liquidity risk for suppliers from suppliers. Some suppliers in some regions, especially Europe, used to rely on insurance and letters of credit to finance working capital. However, recent changes in financial markets have reduced the availability of credit insurance. In addition, due to the growing trend of open payment accounts, the use of letter of credit financing has also declined. Therefore, the finance department uses this plan to add strategic value to business operations, thereby increasing liquidity and stability for suppliers in challenging areas.

The successful implementation of the plan requires the support of senior management, clear supplier marketing strategies and carefully selected bank partners. Although any large company will be greatly assisted and supported by senior management, supplier financing programs need strong support to eliminate the silos of the enterprise. The finance department needs to clearly define the roles of the AP, IT, legal, accounting and procurement departments and their coordination relationship with them while tie the project.
