On receipt of any invoice queries, Account Payable check whether: -
•The invoice is for Opus Energy Ltd
•We have authorised supplier details and bank account for payment
•The invoice has not already been paid
•We have not already received a copy of the invoice

If invoices are likely to be overdue, due to authorisation processing, they are normally picked up on the next scheduled BACS run. In exceptional circumstance a CHAPS payment for emergency payments can be made.
Certain contracts have a clause which enables the supplier to claim interest on late payments.
