I understand that "Net 30" means "due in 30 days" (Net15 & Net60 mean due in 15 or 60 days, respectively, etc), but sometimes invoices simply say "NET" with no number.

In my accounting classes (25 years or so ago) I was taught that "NET" means "NET 30", so I have always assumed this to be the case. Recently a vendor demanded payment for an invoice with "NET" terms that was less about 2 weeks old. He contended that "NET" means "due immediately"

If the invoice is terms of net 30, the invoice is past due on the 31st day after the invoice date. If the invoice is dated January 1st January, generally the date it's due by is January 30th, (you count the invoice date of January 1st as the first day), meaning one day past due would be on the 31st day after the invoice date, making it January 31st.


What does net 60 mean for payment?

Payment terms on an invoice are written in the form "x/y net z", where x is the percentage discount taken if the invoice is paid in y days, or else the entire balance is due in z days. For example, if the terms are 2/10 net 30, the customer may take a 2% discount if he/she pays the invoice within 10 days, or else has to pay the whole amount due in 30 days. When no discount is offered, the payment terms can be written simply only as "net z". Thus, net 60 means that the invoice must be paid in 60 days. There are no discounts offered for paying early.
