The requestor may instruct Accounts Payable to pay, reject or reduce the invoice. If this is not feasible, the Sandia recipient must notify Sandia's Receiving Department to ensure the accounts payable system reflects receipt. Payment Terms Sandia's policy is that calculation of the payment date starts from the date Accounts Payable receives the invoice, not the date of the invoice. Accounts Payable does not have the authority to negotiate payment terms. If an additional discount is offered that is beneficial to Sandia, payment may be made early to take advantage of the discount.
