Any other information about payment terms
We have an accepted custom with a significant number of suppliers that we can make payment by cheque which are posted on the due date but not cleared by up to 4 working days later than the invoice payment date. These are reflected in the '% Invoices not paid within agreed terms' statistic as the guidance specifically states to calculate the statistic based on the details in the invoice or other written documents.
Dispute resolution process
Supplier queries are raised initially with accounts payable, they are then escalated to the relevant department for resolution (i.e. pricing issues are dealt with by the purchasing department / delivery discrepancies are dealt with by logistics).
