在交付与验收方面，《倡议》明确，整车企业应在接收货物后及时完成验收（原则上不超过3个工作 日），验收合格即出具验收单。若发现货物品种、数量、质量不符合要求，甲方应及时通知乙方，供应 商企业应在指定期限内采取整改、更换或补供措施，由此造成损失的责任认定及赔付事宜，双方按合同 约定处理。 在支付与结算上，《倡议》提到，整车企业支付账期自供应商企业交货并通过验收合格之日起计算，最 长不超过60个自然日（如支付当日遇法定节假日顺延）。若供应商企业为连续性供货（月度供货次数2 次以上）的非中小企业，经双方协商，可在一定时间内集中对账，账期自双方对账日起算。此外，如双 方供货单价暂未达成一致，整车企业应按照与供应商企业最近一次供货合同单价或开发定点单价计算金 额的一定比例先行支付，原则上该比例应不低于80%的供货合同单价或50%的开发定点单价计算金额。 双方协商确定价格后，按照确定后的供货单价多退少补。倡导双方建立长期稳定的合作关系，每次签订 合同的有效期不少于一年。 近两年，汽车市场竞争日趋"白热化"，竞争压力转嫁、传导至上游供应链，压低采购价格、延长付款周 期等问题凸显，给产业链、供应链健康发展带来不利影响。数据显示 ...

Core Viewpoint - The China Automotive Industry Association (CAAM) has launched an initiative to standardize payment practices between automotive manufacturers and suppliers, aiming to foster a collaborative ecosystem and promote high-quality development in the automotive industry [1][2][8]. Group 1: Initiative Principles - The initiative emphasizes not exploiting the advantages of large enterprises to harm suppliers' interests, promoting a win-win collaboration between vehicle manufacturers and parts suppliers [2]. - In the order confirmation phase, both parties should agree on order details, and any changes to existing orders must be mutually negotiated [2]. - Payment terms stipulate that the maximum payment period should not exceed 60 calendar days from the date of delivery and acceptance [2]. Group 2: Contract Duration - The initiative encourages establishing long-term cooperative relationships, with each contract having a minimum validity period of one year [3]. Group 3: Industry Response - As of the report, 17 automotive manufacturers have committed to implementing the initiative, including Chery Group, which aims to standardize contract terms and comply with the "Regulations on Payment for Small and Medium Enterprises" [4]. - Companies like Seres and Changan Automobile have expressed their commitment to industry self-discipline and adherence to the 60-day payment term [4][5]. - Other major players such as Dongfeng, BYD, and Great Wall have also pledged to support the initiative and ensure supplier rights are protected [5]. Group 4: Policy Context - This initiative is part of a broader governmental effort to regulate the automotive industry, following the implementation of the revised "Regulations on Payment for Small and Medium Enterprises" which established a legal basis for the 60-day payment term [9]. - The CAAM's initiative details operational standards across four key areas: order confirmation, delivery acceptance, payment settlement, and contract duration [9]. Group 5: Industry Challenges - Despite the industry's growth, challenges persist, including rising debt levels among manufacturers due to increased R&D investments and structural adjustments for electric vehicle production [10]. - The average payment cycle for ten major domestic automakers was reported to be 182 days in the first half of the year, significantly exceeding the 60-day requirement [11].

Core Viewpoint - The article emphasizes the importance of establishing a fair and collaborative payment system between automotive manufacturers and suppliers to promote high-quality development in the automotive industry [3][9]. Group 1: Overall Principles - The initiative advocates for principles of equality, voluntariness, fairness, and integrity, ensuring compliance with national laws and regulations, and aims to protect the interests of suppliers, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises [3][10]. Group 2: Key Processes - **Order Confirmation**: Both parties must confirm the order details, including delivery dates, part specifications, and quantities, and any changes must be mutually agreed upon [4]. - **Delivery and Acceptance**: Suppliers must deliver goods as per the order and notify the manufacturer of delivery details. The manufacturer is required to complete acceptance within three working days [5]. - **Payment and Settlement**: Payment terms stipulate that the payment period should not exceed 60 calendar days from the acceptance of goods. For continuous supply, a consolidated accounting method can be used, with at least monthly reconciliations [6][11]. If pricing is not agreed upon, a preliminary payment based on previous contracts is encouraged [6][11]. Group 3: Contract Duration - The initiative encourages establishing long-term cooperative relationships, with contracts having a minimum validity of one year to stabilize supplier expectations [7][11]. Group 4: Additional Notes - The initiative serves as a general guideline for contract terms, allowing for further agreements based on actual circumstances. It aims to standardize payment processes and support the implementation of payment commitments by automotive manufacturers [12].
