By my reading of the story, upfront payment wouldn't have changed the number of payments.

And forget about daily. It's very reasonable to want monthly pay, and should not be a burden at all. And monthly pay would need at most a month of float, on average probably less. That's not where the real payment issues are.

Yeah frequency of payments was an example, but kind of a red herring. Consider it as “running AP differently for a small subset of vendors” as an abstract concept. It’s expensive to do 5% of your business differently than 95%.

I believe the idea is that no vendors should get treated that way.
