No
Maximum contractual payment period agreed
365 days
Our business covers varying sectors, for example in tyres there is an industry standard of 60 days. Outside of this sector our default would normally be 30 days subject to supplies made by John Deere as mentioned previously.
Any other information about payment terms
The data we have provided includes invoices that have only been paid late due to us receiving these invoices late from our suppliers and in addition to this also includes invoices that are in dispute. As a business we will always try and pay to our agreed supplier payment terms, but unfortunately we only do a payment run once a week, which invariably will result some our payments to appear late, even if only by one or two days. However, we are investigating the possibility of moving to daily payment runs going forward to ensure our suppliers invoices are paid to terms.
Dispute resolution process
Individuals approving invoices will notify both our accounts department and the supplier themselves if an invoice is in dispute. Depending on the nature of the dispute, will determine the timescale and next steps for each individual queried invoice.
