Calyx Suppliers Page

Calyx operates a “No PO, No Pay” policy. Suppliers must therefore not provide any goods or services without first having received a Purchase Order (PO). The only exceptions to this policy are for goods/services categorised as one of the following:

 

Healthcare Services, Banks & Brokers, Insurance, Utilities, Export/Import deliveries/couriers/duties, Voice/data/mobile Carriers, Operating leases, Readers and Governments.

The details provided on the PO document must match the goods/services that are being provided, and the supplier should check all details before providing any goods/services to Calyx. Any discrepancies should be raised immediately with the Calyx department or individual that requested the goods/services. Discrepancies in PO details may delay or prevent the processing of associated invoices.

The PO must be addressed to the correct entity of the supplier’s organisation. Calyx are unable to process invoices where the company entity/address listed on the invoice is not the same company that the PO was raised to.

The Calyx entity on the PO must match to any associated contracts that are in place. Suppliers will only be able to invoice the Calyx entity listed on the PO document.

 

Suppliers must also check the following details are correct (where applicable):

• Quantity
• Unit price and total price
• Order currency
• Unit of Measure
• Description of goods or services
• Requested delivery dates
• Delivery address

To allow Calyx to process supplier invoices correctly and efficiently, suppliers should note the following requirements:

• All invoices must clearly state the PO number received from Calyx.
• Where no PO has been provided (in exceptional circumstances – see “Purchase Orders” section on this website) the invoice must clearly identify the Calyx contact who requested the goods/service
• Where the PO has multiple lines, it should be clear which line/charge on the invoice relates to which line of the PO (invoice line should state the PO line number where possible)
• Calyx will be unable to process invoices when insufficient value or quantity is remaining on the Purchase Order. Suppliers are asked not to submit invoices over PO value and instead should contact their Calyx  buyer/requestor.
• All company entities on the PO (both Calyx and supplier’s) must be correct, and match exactly to the details specified on the invoice. If they are not the same, a new PO must be requested from the appropriate AstraZeneca contact
• All invoices must contain a clearly marked, unique invoice number and date
• The currency of the invoice must be the same as that specified on the PO
• The Unit of Measure (UoM) listed on the invoice must match the UoM specified on the PO
• Credit notes should clearly reference the invoice number/PO they relate to, where appropriate
• Where VAT is claimed, the relevant VAT registration number of the supplier must be mentioned on the invoice
• Where other types of tax are applied, the associated tax identification numbers must be mentioned on the invoice, in line with the local tax requirements
• If VAT or other taxes are claimed, the VAT/tax amount must be shown in the currency of the country where the transaction takes place (or the appropriate exchange rate specified)

Invoice Submission

Suppliers should submit invoices electronically via email to [email protected]

Invoices that are non-compliant will be rejected and a notification sent back to the supplier. Corrected invoices should be returned to Calyx as soon as possible to minimise delays in payment.

Calyx’s standard payment terms begin from receipt of a compliant invoice.

Payment terms will be stated on the PO document received when goods/services have been formally requested. Queries/concerns on payment terms should be addressed to the appropriate Calyx contact upon receipt of the PO, not at time of invoice submission. For any payment queries please contact [email protected] please be sure to include invoice number, PO number and submitted date.
