Accelerate Cash Process (Supplier Early Payment)

What is Accelerate Cash?

Provides suppliers with an option to be paid earlier than their standard payment terms with a discount.
The Accelerated Cash module in the Disney Supplier Management Portal (DSMP) is only available to suppliers doing business with North
America business entities of The Walt Disney Company and its affiliates.

There are two methods to request an early payment:

1. Accelerate Cash by Invoice – Supplier manually selects one or multiple invoices to be paid early with a discount. A payment date is
selected which will show the discount percentage rate and amount which varies based on the number of days paid early.

2. Always Accelerate Cash - All eligible invoices will automatically be scheduled for early payment with a discount amount. The discount
percentage rate and amount will be calculated based on the date the invoice becomes available to be paid and the number of days
remaining until the net due date. This process will continue for all payments going forward until the supplier disables the option. See
page 2 for more information.

How to request an early payment manually:

1. Access the Disney Supplier Management Portal (DSMP) https://disney.apexanalytix.com/
• If this is the first time accessing the DSMP, click “First time user/Forgot username?” and fill out the form. Note: User must
match three of the four validation fields with the TIN/FEIN/SSN field being required. The other three fields are Vendor Name,
Vendor Number and Bank Account. These must match exactly as it is in the DSMP/SAP record.
2. The Accelerate Cash module on the home page will display the Top 5 eligible invoices. Click “See all Offers” to view all invoices that
are eligible. (Invoices that are close to actual due date will not be eligible.)
3. Click the check box in the column to the left of each invoice and click “Accelerate Cash” in the lower left of the module to start the 2
step process. Follow screen prompts and click Submit.

Instead of manually selecting invoices, you can start the automatic “Always Accelerate Cash” process by clicking the “Always Accelerate
Cash” button on the lower right of the module. Agree to the terms to allow all invoices to be automatically set up to receive an early
payment.

Frequently Asked Questions?
• When will the payment be generated?
• After approval of the Accelerated Cash request, payments will be generated in the next daily payment run.
Requests must be submitted before 7pm Eastern Time. If an invoice has reached its terms and it is waiting for
the weekly payment run, it will not be eligible for early payment.

• Using “Always” Accelerate Cash, can a supplier pick which date to initiate the process?
• All eligible invoices will automatically be scheduled for early payment with a discount amount when the invoice
becomes “open” (ready to pay). The Supplier cannot pick which date using the Always Accelerate Cash
process. The discount percentage rate and amount will be calculated based on the date the invoice becomes
available to be paid and the number of days remaining until the net due date.

• How can I stop “Always Accelerate Cash”?

• Suppliers can disable and restart Always Accelerate Cash as needed in the DSMP.
• Click the “Disable Always Accelerate Cash” button on the lower right corner on either of the
following pages:
• Supplier Inquiry module: Invoice / Payment Search page
• Cash Management module: Accelerate Cash by Invoice page

• A box will appear, click “Disable”.
