French term or phrase: 30 jours le 10 du mois suivant
I'm sure this is already in he glossaries because I remember seeing it, unfortunately I cannot it. I'd much appreciate if someone can lead me to it, if not here is the entire sentence:

Les paiements s'effectueront par virement à 30 jours le 10 du mois suivant dès réception de facture.

Thanks so much!

Sorry - I see you already know it\'s come up before - the glossary has explanations (search for \"mois suivant\") but no particularly good formulations, IMHO.

agree  xxxsarahl: they usually say, 30 jours fin de mois 10.
1 min
  -> cheers
agree  NewCal: but would translate : paid on the 10th of the calendar month following the month corresponding to 30 days after receipt of the invoice.
4 mins
  -> thanks - I'm not overly convinced by your use of "month corresponding to", but it IS quite difficult to encapsulate the French succintly and clearly in English.
agree  xxxPhilippe C.

agree  writeaway: http://www.proz.com/?sp=h&id=483601
27 mins
  -> cheers - don't tell Jane, but the use of both "at" and "on" in her answer confuses the hell out of me about when the payment actually takes place :-).
agree  Anna Maria Augustine at proZ.com

  -> thanks, and yes, I forgot to mention the "bank transfer" bit in my answer (which I just cut and pasted from my own glossary, that's why) !

Explanation:
Payments will be made following receipt of the invoice, by bank transfer at 30 days EOM on the 10th.

Sorry, I couldn't squish it all in - space not long enough.

This seems pretty clear and logical doesn't it?
