3.2.3 Feature: APPLICATION FOR FACTORING FACILITY

Benefits:

• The Supplier may now Create and Submit applications online for factoring facilities if he wishes to factor his Contract.
• The Factoring Company can either Confirm or Reject the application that has been submitted online by the Supplier.
• The Contract Administrator at the Ministry of Finance may Approve or Reject the application. Once the supplier's application is approved, the factoring details/information would be updated onto the contract concerned, and this would make the factoring facility effective.
• The Supplier may also apply to remove the factoring facility. Once the Contract Administrator and the Factoring Company both confirm or acknowledge this request for removal, the factoring details/information will be deleted from the contract concerned. This would hence terminate the factoring facility.
• Application details can be printed from the ePerolehan system.

Benefit: When the supplier Creates and Submits the invoice for those contracts that have been factored, the invoice will firstly be routed to the Factoring Company. The Factoring Company will then, upon receipt of the invoice, submit it to the Government for payment.
