Standard payment terms
The Company has a variety of different standard payment periods including some invoices with "end of month" standard terms. The due date of the "end of month" invoices are estimated as the mid point of the month after. For example, 60 day "end of month" terms are estimated to have a standard payment period of 75 days. In order to determine the shortest and longest standard payment period, all of the invoices due in the period have been placed into the following standard payment period buckets: 0-15 days, 16-30 days, 31-60 days, 61-90 days, 91-120 days, 121-150 days and >151 days. The two buckets with the greatest number of invoices due in the period (reflecting the most commonly used terms) are 31-60 days and 61-90 days. Therefore the 31-60 day bucket is estimated as the shortest standard payment period, being the mid point of 46 days. The bucket of 61-90 days is estimated as the longest standard payment period, being the mid point of 76 days.
