Standard payment terms
The company's standard payment terms to suppliers are based on supplier terms and the company's monthly BACS run which runs twice a month, mid month and end of month. For example, if due date of the supplier invoice is the 17th of the month it would be picked up for the payment at the end of the month. Our suppliers are advised that Ernest Doe & Sons raises 2 BACS payments monthly. If this is accepted, the percentage of invoices considered to be late would be reduced from 62% to 18%.
