Schools may be aware that Norse has split the company over several subsidiaries. As each subsidiary has an individual bank account, schools are reminded to check the correct LEA reference is quoted when paying NORSE invoices.
Please note Norse will not accept any payments that do not quote the correct invoice number/bank account details therefore the Payments team is unable to process any invoice that is not processed under the correct LEA reference number. For any NORSE invoices submitted with the incorrect LEA reference number, the invoice payment cannot be made and schools will receive the invoice charge and a corresponding credit in their weekly extract file.
We would recommend that schools review the NORSE supplier details held within FMS to ensure all subsidiary details are correct.
