Invoicing requirements

Invoicing procedures and requirements

Invoices must include a Purchase Order (PO) number and must not contain more than one PO number. Johnson Matthey operates a “no PO, no pay” policy, invoices submitted without a PO will be rejected and returned. If you do not have a PO number, please contact your Johnson Matthey representative.

Invoices should be emailed to the address supplied by your JM contact, only invoices should be sent to this mailbox. All other emails, including questions, should be sent to your JM contact or alternatively, queries can be submitted via the contact form on our website.

Invoices must be in PDF format and must be clear and readable. Invoices in any other format will be rejected.

Each submitted PDF document must only contain one invoice, although that single invoice can have more than one page.

Invoicing emails may contain as my PDF attachments as you like, providing each PDF is a single invoice.

Invoices must include:

  • Vendor name
  • Vendor address
  • Invoice number
  • Payment details

Failure to meet any of the above requirements will result in invoices being rejected and not being paid.

Payment terms and rules

Johnson Matthey’s payment term calculations are based on the date that a correct invoice (see invoice requirements) is received in the correct manner (emailed to the mailbox supplied by your JM contact).

The payment terms will be set out in any master supply agreement between JM and the vendor. In situations where there is no master supply agreement the payment terms will be specified by Johnson Matthey on the purchase order (PO) document.

Unless expressly agreed otherwise between both parties, the standard Johnson Matthey global payment terms are 60 days after end of month (EOM) following correct invoice submission.
