Doing Business with Canadian Natural
Canadian Natural’s suppliers are integral to our continued success and it is essential that they conduct their business in a manner that is consistent with our commitment to strong ethical standards and world class performance.
Canadian Natural uses a third party application called “OpenInvoice” to handle electronic invoices. If you have an OpenInvoice account, you can submit your invoices electronically through this application. You can then track your invoice submission and see if it has been approved, disputed or paid.
Our standard payment terms are net 45 days from the date the invoice is submitted successfully unless otherwise agreed upon within a contract. As OpenInvoice is our standard method of receiving invoices, submitting invoices by other means may delay payment.
