Invoice Payment Practices

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

Payment Terms

Standard payment terms

2 Agriculture operates a weekly payment run on a Wednesday each week and captures all invoices due for payment to the Friday of that week. Payment is made by BACS and supplier receives payment on the Friday. It is not practical to process daily payment runs, therefore invoices could be up to 6 days overdue.

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

Dispute Resolution Process

Invoices are matched on receipt if the supplier has stated the correct purchase order or reference number and the quantities and price match the details on our system. Should the invoice and order not match, the Purchase Ledger Manager will liaise with the relevant site management to confirm the correct information and work with the supplier to enable the correct payment to be made. In the event the Purchase Ledger Manager is not able to agree with the supplier, the dispute is passed to the Finance Director. Upon resolution the invoice is placed on the next available payment run. Through the process of statement reconciliations, disputes relating to missing invoices are identified before they become overdue. Remittance advices are sent via e-mail or post when payment is made. This is in order for the supplier to match the payment received against the same invoices as 2Agriculture has matched to and avoids disputes about mis-matching of payments.

Other Payment Information

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