Despite increasing adoption of SCF solutions like reverse factoring and trade credit, existing literature lacks a unified theoretical framework that captures both financial and organizational complexities. Drawing from 47 peer-reviewed articles in leading supply chain journals, this study identifies key SCF dimensionstask characteristics, environment, and interdependenceas primary sources of uncertainty and information processing needs. It then examines how IT systems, coordination mechanisms, and organizational design enhance processing capacity, enabling firms to build SCF capabilities such as risk assessment, supplier onboarding, and financial process standardization. These capabilities facilitate financial supply chain integration through data connectivity, embedded flows, and collaborative planning. The study contributes a comprehensive conceptual model that connects SCF uncertainties, processing strategies, and performance outcomes, addressing theoretical and managerial gaps. It further provides a foundation for future empirical research and strategic design of SCF systems to enhance supply chain resilience and financial efficiency. 2025 by the authors.
