Payment Terms - Mining industry
We are implementing Order Management for a mining company. The payment terms is sometimes determined by an event before a shipment has taken place. Example:
90% Deferred Payment - 90 % Deferred Payement, by LC, pro forma invoice. Final payment to refelect adjustment for early payment at an annual interest rate calculated from actual date.
The LC above refers to a Letter of Credit which is received at some stage, but it is not possible to know this. Can anyone with possible experience in the mining sector assist? Is the payment term updated before physically shipping to reflect correctly on the Age Analysis in AR?
