Re: End of month payment

 

Hi, here in Spain, people also refers usually 30 days as a month, but
that's not true in such extreme cases like the one presented on the link
(the 1st of january). BTW, a lot of spanish software compute the term in
the same way as OpenERP does, so we usually include in the sale invoice the
payment terms for notifying customers the calculated ones, so that they can
change them in their software if there is no match. Any discrepance (they
want to delay the payment another month, for example), is agreed by
conventional methods, and change accordingly in both software.

Regards.
