Any other information about payment terms

Payments days have been calculated based on invoice date. The current system does not record invoice received date and so invoice date has been used as a proxy. It is likely, therefore, that payment days may be lower than calculated if based on date invoice received.

Dispute resolution process

Operational heads have responsibility for approving or disputing invoices for payment.
