Create a Factoring Product

Factoring in supply chain finance is a financial arrangement where a business sells its accounts receivable (invoices) to a third-party financial institution (called a factor) at a discount.

In order to create a Factoring Product you need to:

  1. Create a Product Group and Structure for an Factoring Product

  2. Apply the created Product to a Deal

Navigate to the Product Groups Tab

  1. Go to the Products section -> Product Groups

  2. Click on Add New Group button

Product Group

Product Groups work as your product templates. Once you set up a specific Product, it can be used for multiple programmes and clients.

Product Structure

Product Structures define the workflows of your products. They are specified after the product group, as the structure and workflows within it directly influence the product you select.

Similarly to Product Groups they work as templates and can be assigned to multiple clients/ Deals.
