Payment Terms
Standard payment terms
SAGE Publications Ltd's standard payment terms are within 30 days of receipt of a correct, undisputed VAT invoice, agreed contract detailing payments due or a payment request agreed in writing by an authorised representative of the business. The criteria for us to make a payment within 30 days is an approved purchase order (PO) and for the PO number to be quoted on the invoice. Any invoice received without this will be paid, but could be later than 30 days.

Dispute Resolution Process
SAGE Publications is committed to ensuring all invoices are paid as soon as possible even to the extent that SAGE pays every invoice regardless of terms. This means we pay every invoice approved for payment at the time of us generating the payment runs, leading to suppliers sometimes receiving funds up to two weeks early. All disputes are resolved by discussion either by phone or email by our dedicated accounts payable team in a fair and timely manner. If the supplier feels we haven't met the standards mentioned, then this can be raised to the Finance Operations Manager who will then look into the dispute and resolve or escalate to senior management as appropriate,
