What are my payment terms?
Our standard payment terms will be communicated to each supplier and will start from invoice date or invoice received date, whichever is the later. UKSBS make payment by BACS transfer.
Why am I receiving an error message?
There are a couple of reasons an error could have occurred. Firstly when using iSupplier, please don’t use the browser’s ‘Back’ button. Instead, use the file path held within iSupplier. From the file path, you can return to any of the previously used screens. Secondly, if you receive an unexpected error when submitting an invoice for example, please log out and log back into the system. Click on the Finance tab to locate the invoice and select update.
How do I reduce my search results?
iSupplier allows users to use the symbol ‘%’ as a wildcard when completing searches. For example, if you’re searching for an invoice number that begins with ‘INV’ but are not sure of the following numbers, you can search for INV%. This returns all invoices which begin with the characters INV.
The wildcard can be used at either side of a search, for example if you know a PO number contains the sequence 4567, but are not sure what precedes or follows the sequence, you can search for ‘%4567%’ to obtain all records where the sequence 4567 appears.
How do I see more than 25 search results?
When you search for data within iSupplier, the system views 25 records each time. If more than 25 records are available, a ‘Next25’ hyperlink will appear at the top and bottom of the search results. If you view the following 25 records, you can still return to the previous data by clicking the ‘Previous 25’ hyperlink.

What happens if I have problems matching an invoice to a purchase order?
When matching an invoice to a Purchase Order, if any issues such as quantity or unit price differ, please speak to your contact within UKRI to have the order amended.
What if I’m a foreign supplier?
Foreign suppliers are still required to submit their invoices using the iSupplier portal. However, if you need to add or change existing bank details please complete the Non-UK Supplier form and send it to [email protected]
What if I’ve submitted an invoice for the incorrect amount?
Please contact [email protected] to highlight the issue. If the invoice has not been paid we can cancel it on your behalf. This will allow you to reenter the invoice with an ‘A’ after the invoice number for the correct amount. If the invoice has been paid and the PO is still open, please enter a credit and then re-enter the invoice with an ‘A’ after the invoice number. If the PO is closed we will need to arrange for our Procurement team to re-open the PO so you can submit a credit note followed by the invoice. You will need to ensure an ‘A’ is added to the end of the invoice number.
