How Does it Work?
The Supplier Incentive Service enables your invoices to be paid ahead of contractual payment terms in exchange for a pre-agreed rebate. The rebate is applied dynamically as the invoice is paid and is proportionate to how many days we accelerate your payment by.
To calculate the invoice acceleration, we use the number of days between invoice received date and invoice remittance date. The rebate is only applied if invoice acceleration is achieved.
This means you will be paid as soon as the invoice is authorised and we will issue a debit note to the value of the deducted rebate. The debit note quotes your original invoice reference to enable you to reconcile your account.
As shown in the accompanying diagram we aim to pay you on day 10 for a 1.25% rebate.
