Invoice Payment Practices

This information is as reported by the business, and responses are in their own words.

Payment Terms

Standard payment terms

Standard payment terms are 50 days from date of invoice, but exceptions are Wheat suppliers (28 days from date of invoice), Maize suppliers (0 days / due immediately) and Wheat boats (0 days / due immediately).

Were there any changes to the standard payment terms in the reporting period?

No information available

Any other information about payment terms

As a business we will always try and pay to our agreed supplier terms, but we only do a non-wheat payment run once a week which invariably will result in most of our payments appearing late, even if only by a few days. If you take this weekly payment run practice into account and allow 7 days tolerance on the due date, our non-payment % reduces to <10%.

Maximum contractual payment period agreed

50

Dispute Resolution Process

The Company advocates a consensual process in achieving dispute resolution, such as mediation/negotiation, in which parties will attempt to reach agreement directly. Pursuing an adjudicative process such as litigation or arbitration, in which a court determines the outcome, is seen as a last resort.

Other Payment Information

Has this business signed up to a code of conduct or standards on payment practices?

For example, signatories to The Prompt Payment Code must commit to paying 95% of their invoices within 60 days.

Does this business offer e-invoicing in relation to qualifying contracts?

This is where suppliers can electronically submit and track invoices. It's not just allowing suppliers to email them an invoice.

Does this business offer supply chain finance?

This is where a supplier who has submitted an invoice can be paid by a third-party finance provider earlier than the agreed payment date. The business would then pay the finance provider the invoiced sum.

Under its payment practices and policies, can this business deduct sums from payments under qualifying contracts as a charge for remaining on a supplier list?

During the reporting period, did the business deduct sums from payments as a charge for remaining on a supplier list?
