What is Supply chain finance?

A financing method using the buyer's credit standing, in which a financial institution pays the supplier early for invoices approved by the buyer.

The supplier gets early payment and the buyer longer payment terms. Whether the liability remains a trade payable or becomes a financial liability must be assessed; IAS 7 and IFRS 7 require additional disclosures for such arrangements.
