Invoice Payment Practices

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

Payment Terms

Standard payment terms

Invoices for the deliverables may be sent to us on, or after, completion of performance. Each invoice must quote the number of our order. No sum may be invoiced more than six months late. Unless otherwise stated in the order, we will pay the contract price within 30 days of the end of the month in which we receive the invoice.

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

No

Any other information about payment terms

41% of invoices received from our suppliers relate to contracts where we pay the supplier after receipt of payment from our customer (flowthrough payments for licensing agreements).  This can leave balances remaining on part-paid invoices while we pursue the customer debts which results in extended payment terms with our supplier.

Maximum contractual payment period agreed

All invoices should be sent to accountspayable@jisc.ac.uk where they will be registered to the finance system and matched to a purchase order or contract. Any issues will be raised with the purchaser of the goods and services and it is their responsibility to liaise with the supplier to resolve any disputes. Payment will be made once the purchaser has approved the invoice for payment.
