Any other information about payment terms
Our payment process dictates that payment of invoices on end of month terms is made in the first week of the following month. We are pleased to report that over 65% of our purchase invoices are paid within 10 calendar days of the due date.
The payment terms for direct debit accounts on our ledger are stored as 0 days from document date, so by default are reported as being paid late. This would account for c. 5% of late payments
Dispute resolution process
The main point of contact for disputes is accounts payable at Carlisle Brass. When an invoice is disputed, the supplier will be contacted by either accounts payable for non-stock items or directly by the supply chain member who is assigned to their account for stock items. They will indicate the invoice number and reason for rejection. To resolve a dispute, the supplier is required to provide any missing information or a corrected invoice. Carlisle Brass follow a no PO no pay policy. The PO number is logged on a spreadsheet and should be quoted on every invoice.
