Any other information about payment terms

Supplier invoices are matched to purchase orders and goods received notes. If supplier invoices cannot be perfectly matched to goods received notes then we resolve differences with the supplier before processing and paying.

Dispute resolution process

Invoice discrepancies are raised with the supplier as soon as they are noted. The supplier payment run is a continuous daily process and maintain a regular dialogue with our suppliers to ensure all that discrepancies are resolved as quickly as possible.
