Guidance & policies
Purchase Order Terms and Conditions
Suppliers should be aware that Ariba offers two versions: The Light Account and the Full Enabled Account. The Light Account will not incur any fees for the supplier, but the Full Account will. When registering with Ariba, suppliers create an agreement between them and Ariba, to which 抖阴成年 is not a party. Suppliers should ensure that the appropriate Ariba Account type is selected, as suppliers that select the Full Account will receive an invoice directly from Ariba. 抖阴成年 is not accountable if the incorrect level is selected, nor can it accept liability for any fees incurred. However, 抖阴成年 can assist suppliers to switch from the Full Enabled Account to the Light Account if the supplier notifies 抖阴成年 accordingly.

We use Ariba to transact with our suppliers
抖阴成年 uses Ariba, a third-party electronic transaction processing tool, to manage the supplier onboarding process, and also to issue and manage purchase orders (POs) and invoices.
We accept both, the Light Account (no fee) and the Fully Enabled Account (with fee). Suppliers electing to use the Fully Enabled option will be required to absorb any associated Ariba charges.
If your purchase order is dated before the 30th of September, 2017, and/or if your country is not listed above, you will be required to submit your invoice to a regional Document Receiving Centre (DRC). Please ensure to follow the instructions closely on How to Submit Non-Ariba Invoices and avoid delay in the payment.
Submission of invoices for goods & services must be sent within seven (7) business days from the service completion date or shipment of goods as requested on the purchase order.
Please note that the 抖阴成年 standard payment terms are 70 days from the date of the invoice submitted to the Account Payables team. For details specific to your country, please refer to the Purchase Order Terms & Conditions of Purchase. All suppliers transacting with 抖阴成年 are required to comply with the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics in the 抖阴成年 Supply Chain Ethical Code.
Ariba is the approved global tool for purchasing goods and services at 抖阴成年. We have alternative payment methods available which can be used instead of Ariba when advised by Global Sourcing. The alternative purchasing channels can vary depend ending on the type of goods or services being purchased. Please contact the assigned 抖阴成年 business partner to find out more.
