Explanation:

On an invoice, net 30 means payment is due thirty days after the invoice date and net 45 means payment is due forty five days after the invoice date.

Net 30 end of the month (EOM) means that the payment is due 30 days after the end of the month in which you sent the invoice and Net 45 end of the month (EOM) means that the payment is due 45 days after the end of the month in which you sent the invoice.
