A number of historic suppliers remain on their original terms and lower terms are offered to consultants and sole traders, but the most commonly used payment terms for new suppliers are 60 days.
Were there any changes to the standard payment terms in the reporting period?
No

Any other information about payment terms
Norgine’s accounts payable team process payments on a weekly basis but do not submit payments over a month end. Although 33% of invoices appear to have been paid outside of agreed terms, the vast majority of these have been paid within 1 to 4 days of the due date, and is a result of 2 days processing time for UK BACS and bank payments, and timing of when payments were submitted to the bank, e.g. over a weekend or just after month end.
The due date in Norgine’s ERP system is calculated automatically, based on the invoice date and agreed payment terms. Included within the “invoices due but not paid with agreed terms” statistic are invoices that were received late from suppliers, a number of which were received even beyond when payment under the agreed terms would have fallen due. If the due date was recalculated based on when Norgine’s accounts payable team received the invoice, the proportion of invoices due but not paid within agreed terms would be 18%, the majority of which were paid within 1 to 4 days as per the reasons explained above.
To ensure prompt processing and payment, suppliers should email all invoices directly to AccountsPayableUK@norgine.com or post to the following address:

Dispute resolution process
We have good relationships with our suppliers and do not generally have significant disputes relating to payments. Any queries or disputes are raised with the accounts payable team at AccountsPayableUK@norgine.com who then forward the query or dispute to the designated Global Purchasing contact or other relationship contact within the business, to ensure that any dispute is resolved satisfactorily for both parties.
