Standard payment terms

Denso Manufacturing UK (DMUK) operates 30 Days EOM (End of month) standard payment terms. These terms are agreed through our General Purchasing Agreement at the point of Purchase Order. In line with our standard terms, invoices are paid within 30 days following the end of the month in which the Invoice Date falls. The average time from Invoice Receipt to Invoice Payment (Currently 38 days) is therefore reflective of these terms.
