In 2023 Calor Gas
Limited went live with a new ERP system , SAP S4 Hana. This was a significant
change for the company following +20 years on a previous ERP system which was
highly customised. As a result of technical issues, processing of customer and
supplier invoices were impacted during 2023 which impacted the reported
figures. Despite this the operation was unimpacted and the company have worked
hard to put in place the technical fixes, additional resource and change
management required to stabilise the system and return to normal levels of
operation. Calor also note that reporting is done on invoice date irrespective
of Third Party Responsibility where a supplier sends an invoice with no
Purchase Order or inaccuracies not allowing it to be matched. Whilst Calor has
little control over this there are actions in place to reinforce the business
terms via Supplier communications and rejecting of invoices (40-50% of invoices
outstanding at any point in time are as a result of no or invalid PO).
