How are invoices selected and prioritized in a payment run?

Intermediate

Answer

Selection is driven by due date, approval status, payment block/hold flags, available discounts, currency, and cash availability. Approved, unblocked invoices due (or with an expiring discount) are included; disputed or held items are excluded. Treasury may cap the run to available funds, prioritizing critical suppliers and discounts.
Real-world example A cash-constrained week's run prioritizes payroll-critical suppliers and invoices with expiring early-payment discounts.
