Any other information about payment terms

Where the date that a purchase invoice is ‘cleared from query’ is used as the ‘start date’ to measure the ‘time to ‘payment’ : the number of invoices paid according to the ‘agreed payment date’ increases from 74% to 78%, and average payment days falls from 92 to 80 days.

Dispute resolution process

IESA uses a vendor portal which is used prior to promotion of invoice to its ERP system, and within which an invoice query type is assigned and work flowed to a responsible individual who works with the vendor to resolve and progress invoice to payment: the accounts payable dept. being measured by internal KPIs to resolve invoice queries as soon as is possible.
