Standard payment terms

Supplier accounts are linked to payment profiles which determine when invoices become eligible for payment. Approximately 25% of the group’s wider supplier accounts are payable at the end of the month following the invoice date (maximum), approximately 40% are payable 28 days after the invoice date, approximately 35% are payable 14 days after the invoice date, and <1% are payable 7 days after invoice date (shortest). Standard payment terms therefore generally range from 7 to 60 days from the date of a relevant invoice, depending upon the supplier account and the way that payment run dates fall.
