Payment Terms

Standard payment terms

Invoicing and payment shall be made in accordance with Ericsson’s instructions. A valid invoice shall at a minimum contain a reference to the PO, Seller’s name and address, and specification of the Products purchased. With deviation from what otherwise may be provided for under applicable law, it is expressly agreed that payment shall be effected within sixty (60) days from the date of complete and successful delivery of the Products, including any documents, and receipt of a correct invoice. Further guidelines and requirements for invoices, including support for e-invoicing and supplier self-service can be found at http://www.ericsson.com/thecompany/sourcing/supplier-partner-resources/invoicing-payments. In case of delayed payment of approved invoices, the seller shall notify Ericsson thereof and Ericsson shall thereafter expedite the payment.

Dispute Resolution Process

3 levels of resolution: 1st level the Order Desk team or Renewals team together with the business they are addressing the situation with the supplier in case of minor queries on the invoice. 2nd level of resolution would be the Sourcing Business Partners in case 1st level is not successful or the reason for disputing the invoice is not considered minor. 3rd level of resolution is the Head of Sourcing: if not resolved, it would be escalated further for final resolution. At this level, we do extend supplier reviews and have a governance meeting if needed. If the dispute is not resolved at this stage, the dispute resolution process outlined in the Agreement between Ericsson and the Supplier will be affected.
