Standard payment terms

Alfred H Knight International Ltd has standard payment terms agreed with the supplier on initial set up of 30 days from the end of month of invoice. Due to this, the standard payment terms can be as short as 30 days or as long as 60 days. The main BACS payment run is completed mid-month and all invoices from the previous month are paid, therefore payment is typically (85% in this payment period) in the 15-45 day range.
