Cash is leaking through inconsistent payment terms
Most businesses pay suppliers on dozens of different terms. The same supplier can be on 30 days with one site and 60 with another, and nobody notices because the terms sit in ERP vendor records and contracts rather than in a report.
Every day you pay earlier than you need to is cash that could be working elsewhere in the business. Finding it usually means a spreadsheet exercise that is out of date by the time it's finished.
