Accurate supplier information enables on-time payments. BD suppliers can manage their account information in the BD Supplier Onboarding Portal, or by contacting their BD Sourcing / Procurement representative. Please ensure your invoice information and payment details are up-to-date and accurately reflected in your BD Company Profile.
For BD to be able to pay your company on-time:
1. Your Invoices and credit notes must meet all relevant country or market, legal, tax, and BD requirements. For the general BD requirements in North America please review the following document, “Invoicing Guidelines for Suppliers”:
For BD locations other than The United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico, please refer to regional invoicing guidelines or to your purchase order.
2. If your invoices or credit notes do not meet all legal, tax, and BD requirements, BD will return these invoices or credit notes to you. This includes indicating BD entity name, address, and tax ID in full as prescribed in the checklist. BD will explain the reason why your invoice or credit note has been returned for further clarifications.
