Any other information about payment terms
We feel the report is missing the point on payments. What matters is not whether an invoice is paid 30, 60 or more days from the invoice date, but whether the payment is 30, 60 days or more beyond the agreed payment terms.
Dispute resolution process
Disputes are resolved by active discussion between the operational manager who requests the goods or services and their respective contact at the supplier.
Dispute resolution represents the vast majority of instances of invoices that are paid later than 60 days.
