Supply Chain Financing
What you need to know:
On July 1, 2013 P&G implemented a new standard payment terms policy to harmonize our terms to a global standard of minimum net 75 days for all our External Business Partners (EBP) where legally allowed. The deployment of this policy is being implemented in a phased approach across our global supply base.
- P&G has a target payment terms of 120 days for all external business partners domiciled outside the European Union, where legally permitted. For external business partners domiciled within the European Union, P&G’s standard payment terms are 75 days. In every country where there are restrictions, P&G will abide by those.
- Payment terms will be applied as contractually agreed with each supplier when P&G receives a compliant invoice from the supplier. For external business partners enrolled in a digital invoicing platform, Payment Terms will begin on the date of the invoice.
- Invoices due on a weekend or on a local holiday will always be settled on the following workday.
Optional Programs:
As part of our desire to maintain a strong working relationship with our suppliers, P&G invested in 2 programs that may be available to you:
1) SUPPLY CHAIN FINANCING: P&G has worked with world class global financial institutions to create an optional program that offers the flexibility of receiving early payments against approved invoices. This new capability will be enabled by a P&G endorsed supply chain financing (SCF) solution:
This program will provide you the option of receiving payment in as little as 15 days from invoice receipt, with the goal of improving your cash position and reducing your debt.
