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"
Who's right?
Net 15 means that the balance is due in 15 days after the date of the invoice. Net 30 means that the balance is due in 30 days after the date of the invoice. The number after the net indicates the days after when the invoice was printed that the balance is due.
The terms "net 10th" and "25th prox" refer to payment terms commonly used in business transactions. "Net 10th" means that payment is due by the 10th day of the month following the invoice date. "25th prox" indicates that payment is due on the 25th of the month following the invoice date, regardless of when the invoice was issued. These terms help establish clear timelines for payment.
The typical timeframe to pay an invoice varies depending on the terms set by the seller, but common terms include net 30, net 60, or net 90 days. This means payment is expected within 30, 60, or 90 days, respectively, after the invoice date. It's important to check the specific terms outlined on the invoice to ensure timely payment and avoid late fees.
"NET PA" on an invoice typically refers to the net amount payable after any deductions, such as discounts or taxes, have been applied. It indicates the final amount that the buyer is required to pay to the seller. The term "NET" signifies that this is the total due, while "PA" may stand for "per agreement" or "per annum," depending on the context of the invoice. Always check the invoice for specific definitions related to the terms used.

Net 15 means that the balance is due in 15 days after the date of the invoice. Net 30 means that the balance is due in 30 days after the date of the invoice. The number after the net indicates the days after when the invoice was printed that the balance is due.
30-day net terms means this is the amount of time a business has to pay an invoice. The 30 day period starts on the date of the invoice.

"25 net 2nd prox" payment terms indicate that the buyer is required to pay the invoice amount within 25 days, but the payment is based on the second month following the invoice date. "Net" means the full invoice amount is due, with no discounts. Essentially, if an invoice is issued in January, the payment would be due by the end of February.
2/10 net 60 means there is a 2% discount available if the invoice is paid within 10 days (that's the 2/10). If the invoice is not paid within the discount period, the entire invoice is due in 60 days from the invoice date.
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.
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.
Net 15 means that the balance is due in 15 days after the date of the invoice. Net 30 means that the balance is due in 30 days after the date of the invoice. The number after the net indicates the days after when the invoice was printed that the balance is due.
Full amount of invoice (net) is due in 5 days after receipt of invoice. Net means all charges: the goods or service itself, shipping, handling, taxes, etc.
In my area they mean payment is due 30 or 60 days from invoice date, respectively. -- days net or -- days DOI meaning the same thing.
