Thank for the update, good job.
SAP for the vendor and it is 120days payment term, but the vendor is seeking 30 days as this is the max of their company credit and appear not option for negotiation (see attached)/
Next Solution , Breakdown the payment into stage,
a) Down payment 30% : released within @Net 30days with Invoice, PO , SAF approved for Down payment delivered to MDLZ Account payable 3rd party team and local finance requested compliance item in place
( like contract need or not for the down payment release ? Ragpong need your input on this .)
b) Progress payment 55%: released @ Net 30days With Invoice(invoice date Start from FAT sign off date) , Equipment shipment MDLZ Site and signed off FAT document from project team;
c) Final Payment 15%: released @ net120days at the worked completed and final acceptance SAT signoff by project team, and Invoice ( Invoice date start from SAT sign off) delivered to MDLZ Account payable 3rd party team.
Hope t helpful, in this way no need to change supplier Vmass standard Payment , but can keep the progress payment in a more reasonable way for them to accept.
