Standard payment terms
The standard business terms are to pay invoices on the last working day of the month after invoice. These terms are slightly different with selected suppliers where the terms have been negotiated for a shorter timeframe. Days can range from 30 to 60 depending on the date of the actual invoice. The % paid within 30 days as part of the report is from date of invoices not month end.
