Standard payment terms

Invoice due dates are set for 30 days from date of invoice, unless contractual terms indicate otherwise. Payments are made to suppliers on a monthly basis via BACS. The due date acts as a trigger for invoices to be included in payment runs. The due date is compared with the date of the monthly payment run and if the standard 30 day period has elapsed then the invoice is included for payment. Thus allowing for the 3 day BACS processing cycle, the standard payment terms for qualifying contracts are between 32 and 62 days from date of invoice.
