Any other information about payment terms
The payment statistics in this report are calculated from the date our invoice processing team receives a valid invoice.
An invoice is considered valid when it complies with our invoicing requirements and contains all the information necessary for processing
Dispute resolution process
The primary point of contact for invoice disputes is the Boston Consulting Group UK Ltd Accounts Payable team.
To enable the timely processing of an invoice, suppliers are required to submit a valid invoice that includes the purchaser's details, the relevant contract, purchase order (PO), or statement of work (SOW), and the applicable charge code, which should be provided at the time of purchase. Invoices that do not contain this information cannot be processed.
Where an invoice cannot be processed due to missing or incomplete information, the nominated purchaser will be the first point of contact and is responsible for resolving the issue. The purchaser may liaise with the supplier to obtain the required information. If the purchaser is unable to resolve the matter, the Accounts Payable team will contact the supplier directly.
An invoice dispute is considered resolved once all required information has been received by the Accounts Payable team, enabling the invoice to be processed in accordance with the company's standard procedures.
