Doing Business with Us

Purchase Orders

Purchase orders are required for most purchases at Progress Software. Failure to include a valid purchase order number and/or Progress contact person on all invoices will result in significant delays in payment, or a rejection of the invoice.
Invoices must be submitted to Accounts Payable – not the Progress person requesting the product/service (refer to the Accounts Payable page for details).

Payment Terms

Progress Software’s standard payment terms are net 45 or net 60 days from the date the invoice is received by Accounts Payable.

Specific terms will be documented on contracts and purchase orders.  Invoices received without reference to a contract or purchase order may be paid net 60 days regardless of the terms printed on the supplier’s invoice.

Ethical Practices
