REASONS FOR LATE PAYMENT INCLUDE: • Errors or inconsistencies in the invoice, such as incorrect invoice details or amounts, which need to be resolved before payment can be processed. • The supplier has provided incorrect banking details that do not match SAP information, leading to delays in processing the payment. • Technical problems with network connectivity, which affected receipting and processing of payment requests. • The supplier submits invoices after the deadline, causing delays in the payment cycle. • The supplier submits account statements late, which affects the reconciliation process and delays payment. INFORMATION ON SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT In line with the Compliance and Reporting Framework for 2022/23, Appendix E, “Institutions are required to annually disclose information on supply chain management payment in the Annual Report of their respective institutions’’.
