Small Value Invoices
Simon Trivella – February 2007
Distribution Workstream

2. Background / Issues
High percentage of small value invoices (debit & credit)
Increased volume since Network Sales
Disproportionate processing costs
Insignificant net financial impact
Unpredictable in nature (adhoc)
Most common cause of late payment

3. Volumes
~7.5% of invoices issued by WWU < +/- £10 (over 13 month period)
Overall net financial impact on WWU £18.20 (credit to Shippers)
Individual Shipper impact range £34.04 (credit) to £ (debit)
Similar impact across all Shippers

4. Way Forward
Possibly solved by suppression / aggregation over 6 month period?
Central “pot” for clearing invoices?
What value of invoice would be suitable?
Requirement for UNC Modification?
Online / Offline process within xoserve – cost benefit?
Appetite for change?

5. Thank You
