Standard payment terms
Gamma's standard payment terms are 30 days from the date of invoice. To ensure these payment terms are met to the best of our ability, on each payment cycle Gamma pays supplier invoices which fall due before the next scheduled supplier payment cycle. Therefore, if a supplier invoice is due the day before the next scheduled payment, this invoice will be pulled onto an earlier payment cycle.
Were there any changes to the standard payment terms in the reporting period?
No
Were suppliers notified or consulted about these changes before they were made?
N/A
Maximum contractual payment period agreed
60 days
Gamma currently has one supplier whose payment terms are 60 days from the date of invoice. These terms are driven by the supplier and were not requested by Gamma.
Any other information about payment terms
Gamma currently has a few suppliers who are paid under netting agreements. The terms of these agreements are that payment can only be processed once the netting is agreed by both Gamma and the supplier. This can result in payments being made outside the standard 30-day period, but will be noted in the reporting as within terms.
Under Gamma's dispute policy, the disputed value of an invoice is withheld until the dispute is resolved. This can influence the reported average payment days.
Dispute resolution process
Disputes are raised with the supplier directly at the earliest opportunity. Any valid charges on an invoice are paid, with the disputed amounts being held back until a credit is received or the dispute has been resolved.
