Reported terms and dispute process
- Standard payment terms
Standard payment terms are 60 days following the invoice receipt at Sandoz. Depending on the commercial situation, variations to these standard terms might be negotiated on some occasions.
- Dispute resolution process
First point of contact for disputes or concerns is the Procure-to-Payment team within the Sandoz Global Services Centre, for which all suppliers have contact details of. In addition to that, new suppliers receive an on-boarding pack, which includes information on issue raising and related points of contact. When an invoice dispute is received, it should be resolved at point of contact with the Procure-to-Payment team. If this is not possible, the query will be escalated to the Business contact and relevant senior Finance contact or P2P Business Partner. Timelines of escalation vary, depending on the nature of the query. When resolved, the invoice will be available for payment on the next standard payment run.

The supplier link is exact, but the award remains buyer-published procurement data. BritDB requires the GB-COH identifier supplied in the Contracts Finder OCDS release and does not infer suppliers from similar names.
07 Ownership and control

PSC records are company-filed public-register information. When the exact same displayed individual name occurs at multiple companies, BritDB offers a non-indexed cross-reference page. It is a name match only, not proof that the records describe the same person. Service addresses and partial dates of birth are deliberately omitted.
08 Charity register
Charity Commission links
No exact company-number link in this snapshot
The Charity Commission extract did not explicitly associate this Companies House number with a charity. BritDB does not use a name-only match to fill the gap.
This company-level check covers the Charity Commission for England and Wales. Links are accepted only when the official extract supplies this exact company registration number. Scottish charities now have separate OSCR profiles, but OSCR’s bulk fields do not provide a Companies House number, so BritDB does not infer a company link.
09 Northern Ireland charity register
CCNI exact company links
No unambiguous company-number link found
The CCNI source number did not resolve uniquely to this Companies House record. BritDB did not use a name or address match.
CCNI publishes company numbers without a jurisdiction prefix. BritDB links only when the plausible padded UK and NI candidates resolve to exactly one Companies House company.
10 Sanctions screening
UK Sanctions List
No exact business-registration-number link found
The imported UK Sanctions List did not supply this Companies House number as a UK-linked business identifier. BritDB did not attempt a name-only match.
No exact link is not sanctions clearance. UK restrictions can apply through ownership or control even where an entity is not separately named. Always use the current official list and obtain appropriate advice for a legally significant decision.
