Commerce, purchasing and sales
valuta
In short and in plain language
Valuta here means that the customer pays later.
The day to pay is set in the contract. It is often counted from delivery.
This way, a dealer does not have to pay for seasonal goods long before selling them.
Definition
In trade, valuta means a deferred payment term: the invoice only falls due on an agreed later date, often counted from delivery. Suppliers grant it for pre-orders, for example, so that dealers do not have to pay for seasonal goods long before they sell them. In banking, the term refers to the value date instead.
