Any other information about payment terms

Payment statistics disclosed in this report can be affected by a number of different factors including payments made to other BP group companies which are included within the data disclosed. Invoices are often reported as due but not paid within agreed terms because 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 Daily basis; where this is the case payments will normally be received by the supplier within a few days of the due date.
