Standard payment terms
Each supplier is required to submit their invoices to the Micro Focus Accounts Payable team in accordance with the instructions on the applicable purchase order. Micro Focus reserves the right to withhold payment on any invoice until such time as Supplier submits the invoice in accordance with the agreed requirements. The standard payment term is sixty (60) days from the receipt of a valid invoice. Some suppliers and supply categories, like essential services, will have payment terms negotiated in advance that will be different from the Micro Focus standard payment term. It is Micro Focus’ practice to issue payment for invoices that become due in the next payment run. If an invoice comes due after a payment run, payment will be issued in the next available payment run.

Micro Focus IP Development Limited is a UK-registered entity within the Micro Focus group, which was acquired by OpenText in 2023. Companies House records list its business as information technology consultancy activities, consistent with the wider group's focus on application software. The Micro Focus brand's own website now states that it operates as part of OpenText, a business described as a Cloud and AI company providing information management, business clouds and business technology solutions. This entity represents the intellectual property or development arm within that corporate structure rather than a standalone trading operation, with its activities and offerings now folded into OpenText's broader software and AI-driven product portfolio following the acquisition.
