Scheduling payouts helps to manage your payments in a more organised way. You can use the [Vendor Payments app in RazorpayX](https://x.razorpay.com/vendor-payments) to schedule payouts.

Here are some typical business use cases where you can schedule payouts:

* You receive an invoice from your vendor with a due date against it. You decide to pay the invoice exactly on the due date.
* You wish to pay all the invoices of a particular vendor in a specific time range at the end of the fortnight/month or payment cycles.
* You receive an invoice based on some payment terms agreed with the vendor, which mandates payment to be made exactly after `x` days post the invoice date.

In all these cases, you can schedule the payout accordingly.
