Big buyers have a whole playbook for paying their suppliers less than they actually owe. The three most common tactics: invoice short pays (paying slightly less than the invoiced amount, usually by amounts too small to dispute), payment delays (slow-walking remittances past agreed terms), and unilateral deductions (chargebacks and fees the supplier never agreed to). None of it is technically illegal. All of it adds up. Here's how the squeeze works, why it keeps working, and what suppliers can actually do about it.
