P&G Payments
 

P&G Payment Terms Policy

Printable Copy

 

1. Payments are made based on the structure of the Purchasing Document (Purchase Order or Scheduling Agreement). If the Purchasing Document is set up as a 3 way match, we must receive the material before the invoice will be paid. Due to specific business situations the Purchasing Document may be set up as a 2 way match (IV only or LPA), in those circumstances we will pay before receipt of the material.

2. Payment terms of paper invoices are based on the date of receipt of invoice or date of goods receipt, whichever comes later.

3. Payment for EDI invoices are calculated base on the date of receipt.

4. Payment made by EFT are calculated based on the date of receipt.

5. Payment terms for paper invoices are pulled from the SAP Purchasing Document (either Purchase Order or Scheduling Agreement).

6. Payment terms for EDI invoices are attached to the vendor remit code.

7. If an invoice due date falls on a weekend or holiday, invoices are paid on the following workday.

8. If an invoice is deleted or returned for missing or incorrect data, the terms will be calculated based on the receipt date of the corrected invoice

9. Functional Acknowledgments, for EDI invoices, must be checked daily to ensure complete transmissions.

10. P&G's standard invoice payment terms are Net 45 unless otherwise separately agreed. Should this policy conflict with any local laws, P&G will comply with the local legal requirements. Please discuss the terms applicable to your specific situation with your primary P&G contact.


COUNTRY STANDARD PAYMENT TERMS
(source - tradepartners.gov.uk)
Belgium

These are generally between 60 and 90 days.

France

There are no "standard" payment terms. Generally companies in France use terms such as "60 days end of month", i.e. a company delivering and invoicing in early June will usually be paid at the end of August. Mail order sector buyers prefer "30 days end of month" in return for a discount of 2.75- 3%. Buyers in the industrial sector may request as much as 120 days credit.

Germany

There are no hard and fast rules & requests for payment vary from immediate to up to 30 days. Discount for payment within this period is sometimes offered, 3% being the norm, but higher discounts are negotiable.
It is generally accepted that customers settle payments within 30 days but German companies might expect discounts between 2% - 3% for payment within ten days (Skonto). Large buying groups often have even more demanding payment terms.

Italy

Although there will be companies who manage to secure payment in 60 days or less the period of credit offered by a supplier to a customer tends to be amongst the highest in Europe, anything from 90 to 120 days.

Morocco

Normal terms of payment apply and vary, according to the class of goods and the financial standing of the buyer. Credit is given, depending on the reliability of the buyer; 30, 60 and 90 days are fairly common (or even longer for certain classes of goods). Letters of Credit are widely used, & Moroccan buyers will try to negotiate payment against documents or even straightforward credit arrangements of 30 or 45 days.

Netherlands

Standard Payment terms vary.& payment on delivery is quite common particulary on new accounts. Buyers will accept a discount of between 2%-3% where payment is 30 days net. Otherwise payment terms are either 30-90 days from the date of the invoice.

UK & Eire

These are generally 30 days or 30 days net month-end, but longer periods are also commonly found.
