Any other information about payment terms
The invoices paid outside of agreed terms of 89% is impacted by our BACS run procedure. A BACS run is completed at the beginning of each month for all invoices due during the previous month, this means that a large number of invoices are shown as paid late, including items late by just 1 day. Our procedure helps to capture invoices monthly in the payment run with a consistent payment pattern for suppliers.
In the orthopaedics company it is very common for terms to be 60 days or longer therefore our average number of days to make payments is 45% 60+ days.
