It&#039;s a holistic problem of controlling tax risks, optimizing working capital, and ensuring transparency in the Procure-to-Pay (P2P) cycle. In the context of increasingly complex risks from &quot;ghost invoices&quot; and absconding businesses, establishing an automated supplier risk review and performance evaluation system has become a

class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before discussing technology or capital optimization, CFOs need to have a clear understanding. <\/span><b>What is supplier management?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the context of strategic finance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vendor management is the comprehensive process of managing the entire supply chain lifecycle\u2014from selection and contracting to performance monitoring, payment, and renegotiation. For CFOs, it&#039;s a strategic tool for controlling costs, ensuring tax compliance, and optimizing the cash conversion cycle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Essentially, supplier management is a part of Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) within the corporate finance ecosystem. Its impact extends beyond the purchasing department, directly affecting the Income Statement (P&amp;L), cost of capital, and free cash flow.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When vendor data is fragmented between the Purchasing and Accounting departments, businesses are prone to incurring hidden costs: duplicate payments, incorrect tax declarations, and lengthy exception handling. Conversely, if Vendor Master Data is standardized and centralized, the CFO can see the entire partner portfolio, categorized by risk level and strategic value.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In practice, Bizzi Bot supports the creation and standardization of supplier data from input invoices, helping to build a &quot;Single Source of Truth&quot; for the entire financial system.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After understanding the nature of the problem, the most pressing issue is... <\/span><b>Supplier risk assessment<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Legal and tax matters.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_999980269\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-999980269\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-999980269\" src=\"https:\/\/bizzi.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/quy-trinh-quan-ly-nha-cung-cap-3.webp\" alt=\"supplier-management-process\" width=\"1200\" height=\"640\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bizzi.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/quy-trinh-quan-ly-nha-cung-cap-3.webp 1500w, https:\/\/bizzi.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/quy-trinh-quan-ly-nha-cung-cap-3-300x160.webp 300w, https:\/\/bizzi.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/quy-trinh-quan-ly-nha-cung-cap-3-1024x546.webp 1024w, https:\/\/bizzi.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/quy-trinh-quan-ly-nha-cung-cap-3-768x410.webp 768w, https:\/\/bizzi.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/quy-trinh-quan-ly-nha-cung-cap-3-18x10.webp 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-999980269\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Supplier management&#039;s impact extends beyond the purchasing department, directly affecting the Income Statement (P&amp;L), cost of capital, and free cash flow.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tai_sao_ra_soat_rui_ro_nha_cung_cap_la_uu_tien_hang_dau_cua_ke_toan\"><\/span><strong>Why is supplier risk assessment a top priority for accountants?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As tax authorities intensify scrutiny of electronic invoices, the risk from opaque partners becomes a direct threat to after-tax profits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Supplier risk assessment involves checking the legal status, tax identification number (TIN) status, compliance history, and tax reputation of a supplier. If a business deals with a supplier that has ceased operations but has not closed its TIN or is on a warning list, the expenses may be disallowed when calculating corporate income tax and input VAT may not be deductible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The key point is that review shouldn&#039;t just happen at the time of contract signing, but should be conducted periodically. Many businesses skip this step, leading to significant control gaps.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Automated solutions like Bizzi Bot can retrieve data from the General Department of Taxation&#039;s system in real time, alerting if a supplier&#039;s tax identification number (MST) poses a risk, helping the chief accountant proactively decide to suspend payments or terminate cooperation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once compliance has been ensured, the next step is to build <\/span><b>supplier evaluation criteria<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to optimize financial efficiency.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_tieu_chi_danh_gia_nha_cung_cap_giup_toi_uu_hoa_von_luu_dong\"><\/span><strong>7 criteria for evaluating suppliers to optimize working capital?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To <\/span><b>supplier performance evaluation<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Quantitatively speaking, CFOs need a clear set of criteria rather than relying on intuition.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Set <\/span><\/i><b><i>supplier evaluation criteria<\/i><\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The criteria include: legal reputation, product quality, delivery efficiency, competitive pricing, credit terms, financial health, and sustainability (ESG). Of these, credit terms directly impact the DPO index.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The DPO index is calculated using the following formula:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DPO = (Average Accounts Payable \/ Cost of Goods Sold) \u00d7 Number of Days in the Period<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A reasonable level of DPO helps businesses improve free cash flow without harming partnerships. However, to sustainably extend DPO, businesses must rely on real-world supplier performance data, such as on-time delivery rate (OTIF), response time, and documentation accuracy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One often overlooked factor in <\/span><b>supplier performance evaluation<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This refers to &quot;transparency in documentation.&quot; Suppliers who frequently issue incorrect, delayed, or incomplete invoices will increase internal operating costs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bizzi Expense records transaction history, error rates, and processing times, providing data for CFOs to renegotiate discounts or payment terms based on concrete evidence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For accurate data evaluation, businesses need a <\/span><b>supplier management process<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Standardized according to P2P.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Quy_trinh_quan_ly_nha_cung_cap_5_buoc_chuan_hoa_theo_mo_hinh_P2P\"><\/span><strong>What is the standardized 5-step supplier management process based on the P2P model?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One <\/span><b>supplier management process<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Efficiency is inseparable from the Procure-to-Pay cycle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The standard procedure consists of 5 steps:<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (1) Purchase request and approval<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (2) Selection and signing of supplier contract<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (3) Receive goods and record GRN<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (4) Three-party invoice reconciliation<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (5) Planning and executing payments<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The biggest bottleneck often lies in the invoice reconciliation step.

Real-time updates allow the Finance Department to proactively prevent transactions with partners who have ceased operations, temporarily blocked their TIN, or are under warning, instead of discovering problems late after tax declarations have been filed.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Quy_trinh_doi_chieu_3_ben_3-way_matching_bao_gom_nhung_buoc_nao\"><\/span><strong>Procedure <a href=\"https:\/\/bizzi.vn\/3-way-matching-la-gi\/\">3-way matching<\/a> What steps are involved?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Three-party reconciliation is an internal control mechanism designed to match data between three core documents: Purchase Order (PO), Goods Receipt (GRN), and Invoice. The goal is to ensure complete consistency in quantity, unit price, and payment terms before disbursement. When automated, this process minimizes errors and reduces the risk of incorrect payments or fraud.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lam_sao_de_tang_chi_so_DPO_ma_van_giu_uy_tin_voi_nha_cung_cap\"><\/span><strong>How can I increase my DPO score while maintaining credibility with my suppliers?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CFOs should negotiate payment terms based on actual supplier performance data such as on-time delivery rates, documentation quality, and level of cooperation. Simultaneously, they can flexibly apply a dynamic discounting strategy during periods of excess cash.
