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

Due to stores being closed as a result of COVID-19, our business did not have any income in the period, so a new approach of delaying payments to suppliers was introduced to mitigate the lack of income. Payments were delayed and usual payment terms were not respected.

Were suppliers notified or consulted about these changes before they were made?
