Any other information about payment terms

Invoices paid late percentage reduces to 52% taking account of payments paid on the next payment run following due date, which is a maximum of 15 days on a bi monthly payment cycle. There are number of reasons why remaining payments are delayed including for example suppliers sending invoices late, internal approvals, suppliers quoted invalid purchase order numbers, and disputes.

Dispute resolution process

Supplier invoices are processed and passed to business approvers who can approve or reject an invoice. In the event of a dispute, it is logged with the supplier via email or on their portal wherever applicable. The supplier and the relevant Daisy authorised person work towards dispute resolution. If the dispute is ruled in favour of Daisy, a credit note may be issued by the supplier. In case the dispute remains unresolved within a reasonable period, the supplier can contact the relevant Daisy business contact or that from the Group Procurement team.
