Any other information about payment terms
Where a supplier's payment terms are very short (e.g.immediate payment or 7 days), internal processes around receipt, authorisation, matching and processing of invoices may mean that some invoices are in effect paid late. This has a negative impact on the reported % of invoices not paid within agreed terms.
Dispute resolution process
Invoice queries (e.g.where the invoice does not match to the PO and GRN within pre-set acceptable tolerance) are passed to the relevant buyer to then resolve with the supplier. Our finance team have a generic e-mail address for accounts queries.
