Any other information about payment terms
Payment statistics disclosed in this report can be affected by a number of different factors. Invoices are often reported as due but not paid within agreed terms because BACS transfers to suppliers arrive in the supplier’s bank account two business days after leaving the company’s bank account, contract payments due on weekends or bank holidays are typically paid on the following business day and the company typically initiates payments in batches, on a weekly basis; where this is the case payments will normally be received by the supplier within a few days of the due date. Additionally, the nature of our supplier relationships means that there are regularly offsetting debit and credit positions which we look to resolve prior to actioning net payments as agreed and appropriate.
Dispute resolution process
Exertis accounts payable teams work directly with suppliers to resolve any issues, these can include agreeing credit notes, stock returns or other relevant deductions. Once resolved, payment is made in accordance with agreed terms.
