Within Cognizant’s CAPPS system, payment terms are established for each supplier. Invoices processed by Accounts Payable will reflect those terms and the payment due date will automatically be calculated by the system if the invoice matches to the order placed. Accounts Payable does not designate a payment date as this is entirely system-driven. For example, a supplier invoice dated July 1, 2014 is received by Accounts Payable on July 9 and is entered into the CAPPS system on July 10. If the payment terms are "Net 30," the system will automatically calculate a payment due date of August 8, 2014 for all accepted and undisputed transactions. Otherwise the invoice will be rejected and parked for clarification and the due date for payment will start from the date of invoice rectified, or from the date of receipt of a revised and acceptable invoice by Accounts Payable.
