For queries regarding guidelines for other BD locations, please refer to your purchase order
BD pays suppliers for authorized purchases in accordance with agreed terms and conditions, based on properly constituted invoices. Payment terms will be calculated from the later of the date a correct invoice is received via an approved submission method or receipt of conforming goods/services. We execute two main monthly payment runs in arrears. Invoices are paid in the next payment run following the maturation of terms.
The following are BD’s requirements to ensure accurate and timely payment processing. These guidelines do not supersede terms and conditions included in contracts and/or purchase orders:
1. A purchase is considered authorized by the issuance of an approved purchase order (PO), which must be referenced on the invoice, please note BD reserves the right to reject/dispute invoices.*
2. The preferred method for submission of invoices is electronic via designated e-invoicing platform, and in some cases non-editable electronic format.
3. DO NOT submit statements, acknowledgements, confirmations, or correspondence as they will be discarded.
4. Becton Dickinson utilizes the Tungsten Network (KOFAX) e-Invoicing platform to improve the invoicing and payment experience with our suppliers.
