Payment Terms

Standard payment terms

Standard payment terms are 30 days. If that date falls within a half-term for the school, the payment is bought forward to ensure it is with the supplier on time. For the summer holidays, there is a cut off date for orders to ensure that all invoices are received and paid before the holidays. One payrun is done in August to sweep up any late receipts.

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