Factors such as rapid expansion and large availability, and more. account receivables make it tough for them to pay HP within the 30-day term. OEMs with thriving busi- nesses often find that they are up against their credit limits with HP. To ease cash-flow constraints, HP in the UK has worked to develop two unique financial solutions. They are the "'30-60-90 Cash Flow Plan" and the "Stocking Plan." 30-60-90 Cash Flow Plan The OEM splits the invoiced amount into three equal installments which are payable on days 30,60, and 90 from the invoice date. Instead of paying everything within 30 days, the OEhl has the benefit of stretching the payment over three months. And no interest is charged as long as the OEM adheres to the payment schedule. In addition, early settlement discounts are offered if the full amount is paid within the 30 or 60 days. Stocking Plan The stocking period for any order lasts for 120 days, and it is possible for an OEM to have equipment in All Equipment is Functionally stock for this time without having to pay for it. This is and of greatest benefit to the OEMs that need to provide Cosmetically instant delivery and have to hold HP products in their Equivalent to New and Includes: inventories.
