I'm assuming you mean the discounts offered by suppliers if the bill is paid early. If the company takes advantage of the discounts, the initial disbursements (or credits) of cash will be greater and made earlier; therefore, the cash cycle will be lengthened. However, the total disbursements (or credits) of cash will be reduced.
