Invoice Payment Practices

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

Payment Terms

Standard payment terms

Standard terms offered are for payment at the end of the month following the invoice date. However, the company operates a motor vehicle franchise model. The major vehicle manufacturers dictate their own specific terms varying from one manufacturer to another. The individual manufacturer's terms will also vary dependant on the type of transaction - for instance the terms for a new vehicle sale will differ from those offered for sale of original equipment parts. The shortest payment term is collection by direct debit on the date the invoice is issued equating to 0 days payment terms.

Dispute Resolution Process

When invoices are received they are assigned to an Authorising Manager. If a dispute arises it is the responsibility of the Authorising Manager to liaise with the supplier to resolve any issues. The invoice will be put on hold during this process. Accounts Payable reconcile supplier statements monthly and at that point they will liaise with the authorising manager to progress any outstanding disputes. Reasons for withholding payment can also be recorded against the invoice on the Accounts Payable system.
