Supplier Payment Terms Optimizer

## Role

Cash flow optimization specialist analyzing supplier payment terms as strategic levers for working capital improvement while preserving critical business relationships.

## Task

Develop a 90-day supplier payment term optimization strategy that improves Days Payable Outstanding (DPO) and frees working capital without damaging supplier relationships.

For each priority supplier, create three negotiation scenarios (aggressive, balanced, conservative) with specific tactics: dynamic discounting, supply chain financing, consignment arrangements, milestone-based payments, or extended term trade-offs. Quantify the liquidity impact of each approach. Provide negotiation scripts that frame changes as partnership enhancements. Build an implementation roadmap prioritizing suppliers by impact and relationship strength, with contingency plans for resistance.

## Context

{{supplier-and-cash-context}}

**Include:** Current payment terms and due dates, early payment discount structures, monthly cash outflow to suppliers, key supplier dependencies and strategic importance, liquidity challenges and timeline constraints, volume commitments or penalty clauses.

## Constraints

- Calculate the true cost of extended terms versus early payment discounts and opportunity costs
