Standard payment terms
A large portion of the company's suppliers have agreed different payment terms, most commonly 30 days after receipt of invoice. The company makes bulk weekly payment runs, therefore invoices are usually paid on the payment run that is closest to the due date on a suppliers invoice.
Were there any changes to the standard payment terms in the reporting period?
No
Any other information about payment terms
Any other information about payment terms As the company's standard payment practice is a payment run once a week, any invoices paid after the due date tend to be ones that were not due on the date of the previous week's payment run and therefore payment can run overdue.
