ARAMARK Supplier Invoice Payment Processes
Account Payable/Invoicing Processing Procedure
ARAMARK units will process supplier invoices once goods have been delivered and Proof of Delivery is signed and returned to the supplier.
The unit will process these invoices either via an electronic or manual transmission as detailed below:
Electronic Transmission
The unit inputs the invoice details onto the ARAMARK Escort system which is transmitted to Accounts Payable in Leeds on a daily basis.
The paperwork back up is then sent to Leeds for filing.
All transmissions received in Leeds are uploaded onto an internal interface (JDE) and posted on the supplier ledger on a daily basis.
Manual Transmission
The unit completes a manual WPS (Weekly Purchase Summary) which is sent to Accounts Payable in Leeds for inputting.
Invoices input manually get posted together with electronic transmission on a daily basis.
Supplier invoices are paid on weekly basis depending on the supplier’s payment terms.
