We do two payment runs each month: one mid-month and the second at month-end. As most of our invoices are end of month following we are usually a few days late with our standard payments. This is something our suppliers are comfortable with. If you calculate our Percentage of invoices not paid within agreed terms with a 5 day grace period then is only 36% of invoice were not paid on time. Due to COVID-19 we made arrangements with our suppliers to delay payments for agreed terms these were between 30 and 120 days.
Non Stock - It is up to the budget / invoice holder to resolve any 'non-stock' invoice disputes. Stock - Price disputes on stock items (variances to the Purchase Order) are sent to our Procurement team to resolve directly with the supplier. Quantity disputes are largely dealt with by our Purchase Ledger teams. PODs are provided to validate any dispute.
For example, signatories to The Prompt Payment Code must commit to paying 95% of their invoices within 60 days.
