Changing an electronic invoice is instant as opposed to the paper invoice changes. Any time treasury departments can stimulate cash collection by making changes in the invoices is a great opportunity. They can tempt the customers to make cash payments by offering attractive discounts. Before the advent of Internet, this kind of control of the cash flow was not possible.
