please note that all our payment terms are calculated from the date we receive/scan the invoice, not from the invoice date itself. We have moved from Monthly to weekly payment runs - Now, every Monday, we create payment runs to include anything due within the same week. The funds will then reach the vendors' bank accounts on Thursdays.
