Standard payment terms

We make 2 payment runs each month to our suppliers, on the 15th and 30th of each month. Certain key suppliers are paid on the next run after their invoice is received. Most suppliers will be paid at the end of the following month from the invoice date (05/03/22 invoice would be paid 30/04/22). Suppliers who have given us extended credit terms are paid at the end of the month, 2 months after the invoice date (05/03/22 invoice would be paid 30/05/22).
