Any other information about payment terms
Payment statistics disclosed in this report can be affected by different factors, including:
- late reception of an invoice, resulting in payment beyond the original due date
- processing of an invoice within a short period after due date as part of the company's standard bi-monthly payment runs
- request for additional supporting documentation and time taken to obtain from supplier, before payment can be effected
Dispute resolution process
Any invoice dispute is communicated by the company's appropriate department [depending on invoice type] to the supplier and the two parties work on resolving any differences. Once concluded, the invoice is settled according to the agreed terms.
If this process is not successful, then the contractual provisions for disputes are followed, involving at times the company's legal team.
