You could explore establishing a discount system based upon your payment terms. For example, if you pay within a certain number of days, you may receive a discount on future orders. This would incentivize quick payments while also allowing your business to maintain beneficial relationships with the supplier and other customers.

The loophole you discovered in your supplier's payment terms provides an opportunity to get paid faster without damaging your business relationship. An easy way to exploit this loophole is to take advantage of Early Payment Discounts, or "supplier financing". This typically allows buyers who pay their invoices early (within 5-30 days) to receive a discount on their purchase. By making sure that your business is organized and efficient - processing and submitting the required documents quickly and accurately - you may be able get access to the early payment discount which allows you faster access to funds.
