Any other information about payment terms

There were no changes to our standard payment terms in the reporting period, however payments were not made in line with agreed terms during the COVID-19 period (mid-March onwards) as we struggled to process invoices and resolve queries in a timely manner while a large number of our staff were on furlough.

Dispute resolution process

Reasons for not being able to pay based on terms include receiving late or non-compliant invoices or invoices that are in dispute. Once aware of a query, the Accounts Payable team will look into it with the supplier or Buyer as appropriate and work together to resolve it. Suppliers should initially contact accounts.taylor-hobson@ametek.com (for the Leicester division) or ap-solartronisa@ametek.com (for the Solartron ISA division) if there are overdue invoices and escalate to the Finance Manager or Purchasing Manager if a response is not received in a reasonable timeframe.
