To assist JCDecaux in abiding to its standard payment terms all invoices must be emailed to uk-accounts.payable@jcdecaux.com or alternatively directly to our new integrated invoice processing software uk.ap-gb01@jcdecaux.com . The Company encourages invoices to be sent in pdf format, emailed as per above, but hardcopy invoices received by post will also still be accepted. We have a small number of suppliers whose agreed payment period is 60 days, and one of those suppliers’ invoices constitute a high volume which makes up a high proportion of the total number of our invoices.
Any other information about payment terms
We transitioned to a new ERP system in 2025 which resulted in delays in paying some of our suppliers. The impact of the transition was anticipated, and we had informed our supplier in advance. We prioritised small suppliers' business suppliers and made payment in advance where applicable.
Dispute resolution process
Orders placed with Suppliers are formalised by issuing a Purchase Order (PO) and invoices not quoting a valid JCDecaux PO number will be returned to the Supplier accompanied with relevant explanation. Disputes are resolved between the relevant JCDecaux internal ‘buyer’ and the Supplier, keeping Accounts Payable advised of reason for dispute or query. The Company strives to resolve all disputes in a fair and timely manner. Upon resolution and after any PO amendments or credit note receipt payment will be processed where necessary.
