Any other information about payment terms

"The date of receipt of the supplier's invoice has been used for the calculation of the reported statistics. The receipt date is when it was recognised onto the system. Where an invoice has been settled through the matching of a credit note, this invoice is not included in the payment statistics. If there is a partial match of a credit note against an invoice, the payment of the remainder of the invoice is included in the payment statistics."
