Any other information about payment terms
The average time taken to pay invoices has been significantly increased in the reporting period by the settlement of an outstanding commercial issue. The issue was around the alleged supply of defective product to our worksite by a large Company. The issue has been under discussion over a number of years and was settled amicably in the period which resulted in a supplier credit and the settlement of the old invoices.

The vast majority of queries will relate to missing paperwork / authorisation issues and can be dealt with quickly. More complicated disputes will be escalated to the relevant manager within the business who will deal with the issues directly with the supplier with a view to quick resolution.
