Days to pay against terms
Actual days to pay against agreed terms, the early-pay discounts taken late, and the accounts asking for longer terms.
Why it matters
Terms are a price concession that never appears on the invoice. Days beyond terms and late early-pay discounts have a cost, and it belongs to specific accounts.
