Maximum contractual payment period agreed
60 days
We pay dealers in 7 days payment terms, standard are 30 days for vendors but inter-company are 60 days , and also the 3rd party vendor directs are 60 days .
Any other information about payment terms
3rd party vendors - we normally wait until the goods are fully received before we pay to ensure the shipment is received. If we pay late it is normally due to invoice not received, or we do not have the full information from the vendor to process the invoice on time. Sometimes we delay payments to the Intercompany which are 60 days and we maybe in a loan position and these are the high value.
Dispute resolution process
If we are aware of a invoice over due, it is normally as it has not been received, we require a copy and process asap, we do action daily payment runs to avoid any vendor being paid late. We try to respond to a dispute email the same day.
