Why do adjustments happen?

Answer

We process and prepay invoices as soon as they appear in your customer’s systems. Those invoices remain open for amendment and dispute until your customer approves them and proceeds to settle with us. During this time, the invoice value and/or its status can change as described in “What causes account adjustments?”. 

If our technology predicts that any of these events may happen, then it will delay prepayment slightly. However, if it doesn’t, you can receive a prepayment for the original invoice amount (less our usual fees) before these changes occur.

To give you a simplified example:

  1. We saw an invoice for £1000 and prepaid you for it (less any fees)
  2. Three weeks later, you issued a credit note for £200
  3. Three weeks later, your customer pays us £800 + £200 credit note
  4. We are now £200 out of pocket.

So we issue an account adjustment letting you know that we are £200 short, and that £200 is the Supplier Claim. Similarly, if the error is in your favour we will make an extra payment for the difference.

A Supplier Claim occurs when we have a shortfall between what we have paid you and what we have received from your customer.

Why do adjustments happen?

We prepay your invoice as early as possible, however your customer will keep it open for amendment/dispute until it is approved according to their internal processes which can result in a shortfall.
