Payments

Early Payment Program

Lilly’s standard payment terms are net 60 days. However, as a supplier you have multiple options to select early payment terms in exchange for a discount. Invoices will only be paid on the discount due date if the invoice has been approved for payment by the Lilly contact. Invoices which were not approved by the discount due date will not be paid until the net due date (typically net 60 days).

Negotiated Contractual Discount Terms

If discounted terms have been negotiated and included in the contract language, those terms will be applied to all invoices submitted. The supplier will not have the option to select which invoices the discount is applied.

Other Options

There may be rare instances where your invoice has been processed without discounted terms and you would like to be paid early. This may be an option, please contact the Lilly P2P Answer Center via email at P2P_Answer_Center@Lilly.com. They will review your open invoices and provide the discount options available.

Methods of Payment

Lilly issues payments on a weekly basis. All invoices which have reached their payment term maturity will be accumulated and paid in the next weekly payment via electronic payment or U.S. dollar check.

Electronic Payment

For immediate receipt of payment, we encourage all suppliers to select the electronic payment method. This eliminates payment receipt delays and checks being lost or stolen.

• Remittance advices are sent directly from Lilly’s bank to the vendor email or fax included in the supplier’s master record. To avoid email remittance advices being stopped as spam, we recommend your IT department do the following:
