Any other information about payment terms

Abellio ScotRail aims to settle all 'valid' invoices within 30 days. A 'valid invoice' must include all relevant information to allow the invoice to be paid. The overall average days to pay will include delays as a result of invoices received without all relevant information. We are pleased to note that over the past 6 months, work has continued on proactively resolving issues in the procure-to-pay process and the benefit of this is reflected in the current period's submission. This work includes a continuous review of our internal processes and working closely with suppliers to ensure they follow the agreed procure-to-pay process and invoices can be paid on time, which we strive to achieve. Additionally, the 'shortest standard payment terms' has been noted as 0 days, which equates to those suppliers with 'Immediate' payment terms.

Dispute Resolution Process

Purchase Order Processed Invoices - Limited number of disputes arise for suppliers processed on this basis as amounts are pre-agreed prior to any commitment being made. Any actual cost variances to the agreed amount are assessed by the business approved and raised with the supplier directly. In some cases, invoices are received without the correct information (for example, an incorrect/expired purchase order number). Abellio ScotRail proactively works with suppliers where issues are identified, so the supplier can provide the correct details and the invoice can be paid on time. For other invoices, any issues will arise on the approval of payment of the invoice by the business. Resolution is therefore handled by the ordering manager and the supplier. However, it is key to note that Abellio ScotRail must maintain robust procure to pay policies and invoices received without a purchase order can cause delay to the procure-to-pay process and payment of invoices due. Where agreement cannot be reached in both of the above cases, this is escalated through the relevant business departments and management team (including Finance) to resolve.

Other Payment Information

This is where a supplier who has submitted an invoice can be paid by a third-party finance provider earlier than the agreed payment date. The business would then pay the finance provider the invoiced sum.
