TheCreditPeriod • CreditPeriod: length of time forwhichcredit is granted • Industryvariation 30-120 days • Cashdiscount: - net creditperiod - cashdiscountperiod
TheCreditPeriod • Invoice: A billforgoodsorsevicesprovidedbythe seller tothepurchaser • Invoicedate: beginning of thecreditperiod • Billingorshippingdate • Receipt of goods • End of month (constantpurchases)
