摘要：Due to innovations in information technology, the physical supply chain has seen significant improvements in efficiency and effectiveness. In contrast, there are several performance gaps in the financial supply chain. The information age is characterized by the technology that accumulates large amounts of data and processes it into meaningful information for management. The accounting function, however, still continues to provide the financial information. According to a study by Forrester Research, accounting professionals across the country process more than one billion invoices each week, and 97 percent of those invoices are still being processed manually. Automating all processes starting from when a purchase order is generated to when payment is ultimately received creates both new efficiencies and reduced costs by providing better visibility of all aspects of financial supply chain management. This paper analyzes the various cost information processing mechanisms in financial supply chains, examines automated alternatives and offers recommendations to achieve an optimal financial supply chain.
