II. Procedure for Vendor Term Adjustment

A. If a Signed Contract Exists

If a vendor has a pre-signed contract specifying payment terms, the following documentation and procedure apply:

  • During onboarding, the vendor should select their specific terms in the portal and upload a copy of the signed contract. Onboarders with a signed contract must select the 'I have a contract' option and upload a copy; otherwise, the custom contract settings will remain hidden. 

  • After Setup: If the vendor is already established, they must send a copy of the signed contract along with their request to the Accounts Payable contact: nfii-ap@nfiindustries.com.

B. If No Contract is in Place

If the vendor wishes to negotiate payment terms and there is no signed contract in place:

  1. The vendor should send their adjustment request to the Accounts Payable contact: nfii-ap@nfiindustries.com.

  2. A member of the leadership team will review the request upon receipt.

  3. The leadership team will reach out to the vendor directly if any follow-up information is needed.

  4. The vendor will be notified as soon as a final decision has been reached. *The full article is attached for downloading
