Invoice Payment Practices

This information is as reported by the business, and responses are in their own words.

Payment Terms

Standard payment terms

The majority of the payment terms contained within the MRP system are 'either' 31 days from End of Month (42% of vendors) and 62 days from End of Month (58% of vendors). This means that an invoice dated/received on the 1st day of the month could take upto 62 days for payment for 31 days EoM vendors or 92 days for payment for 62 days EoM vendors. The main invoice payment run is the final week of the Month paying all invoices due at Month End. (There is a smaller mid-month payment run on working day 10-11 of the month meaning that most supplier invoices are paid either just before or just after the End of Month terms.) During the Reporting Period, invoices on Average were paid 3 days late.

Were there any changes to the standard payment terms in the reporting period?
