Standard payment terms

Standard terms are either 30 days or month end plus 30 days, but negotiations with the minority of suppliers with shorter payment terms continued throughout the period. Invoices are paid on a weekly payment run, because of the standard 30 day terms used this means that many invoices are paid marginally after 30 day or month end standard terms.
