Calculating Payment Due Date

 

• Your payment date is calculated by adding the number of days in your payment terms to the Invoice Receipt Date, which is the date Cargill Accounts Payable receives the invoice. If your invoice meets all of the invoice submission requirements (including submitting it to the correct location via email and having the correct ATTN Line), the Invoice Receipt Date will usually be within one business day of its arrival at [email protected]

• Any errors will delay the Invoice Receipt Date and correspondingly delay your payment.

• If your payment is more than 10 days later than this calculation would indicate, please follow these instructions on Supplier Central to raise a ticket via email, so that we can follow up with you. Please take note of the ticket number you receive. 

• If you do not receive a response to your late payment ticket within 3 business days, please reply to the email from [email protected] with your ticket number and “ESCALATION” in the subject line. We appreciate your patience as we follow up on your inquiry.

• If you have other questions about the Invoice Receipt Date, please review these FAQs
