Step 1: Both signatures
Step by step
- 1
Due-date payment
Choose Pay on due date for normal settlement of the outstanding balance. The supplier may propose an eligible early-payment discount before payment has started.
- 2
Milestone escrow
Choose Escrow by milestones when payment should follow evidence and approval. The current order flow creates shipment and delivery milestones with 30% and 70% allocations. Each milestone follows funding, proof, approval and confirmed release.
- 3
Bilateral netting
Choose Netting when the same two companies have reciprocal eligible obligations. The live Workspace netting flow offsets a matching pair; only the remaining balance needs payment.
- 4
Check the next action
Review the order after selection. The buyer funds or pays; the supplier delivers and follows payout status. Selecting terms does not transfer funds or clear a debt by itself.
Expected outcome
A defined payment workflow for the order.
Important checks
- Do not treat selecting escrow as proof that money is held in a regulated trust account.
- The live netting flow is bilateral; an illustrative multi-company loop is not evidence of an available automatic ring-netting service.
Questions & answers
Can the supplier select buyer payment terms?
The buyer selects the terms after both signatures. The supplier follows the resulting delivery and receiving workflow.
Can netting remove a debt without the other party agreeing?
No. An eligible proposal requires counterparty acceptance. A proposal is not a completed offset.
