Net Payment Terms
Net Payment Terms specify the number of days a buyer has to pay an invoice after the invoice date. Common terms include Net 30, Net 45, and Net 60, where the number indicates the days allowed for payment.
Key aspects of net payment terms include:
- Standardized payment timelines
- Impact on cash flow management
- Potential for early payment discounts
- Supplier relationship implications
Procurement teams often negotiate favorable net terms to align with organizational cash flow needs while maintaining strong supplier relationships. Automated procurement systems track payment due dates and integrate with accounts payable to ensure timely payments and avoid penalties.
