A business derives its cost to pay accounts payable (AJP) with a corporat e card versus other payment methods. The business identifies each merchant t o whom the business owes AJP who but does not accept the corporate card. A w eighting factor is derived for each such merchant from costs of paying with and without the corporate card, as well as from its history of past payments to the merchant. The benefit to the business is derived, using the correspo nding weighting factor, for each such merchant in paying the corresponding A JP to the merchant with the corporate card. Where the benefit exceeds a pred etermined threshold, information is sent to each such merchant sufficient fo r the merchant to receive payment of the corresponding AJP with the corporat e card. |
