LPO AND INVOICE TERMS
Last updated 17 October 2026.
Every order placed through this site is paid up front by M-Pesa or card at checkout. LPO and invoice billing — where Johnesco Investments Co Ltd prints against a purchase order and invoices your organization afterward — is a separate arrangement, and it isn’t open to every account by default.
As of now, LPO and invoice terms are available only to companies and organizations that Johnesco has prequalified — primarily international NGOs, research institutions, parastatals, and county governments with a proven contract track record. Organizations already prequalified include:
- Plan International
- International Centre for Reproductive Health (ICRH)
- Population Council
- University Research Company (URC)
- GIZ Kenya
- Gold Star Kenya
- Save the Children
- Action Africa Help (AAH)
- Impact Research & Development Organization
- CMMB Kenya
- Sineria Kenya Limited
- Child Fund Kenya
- IPAS Alliance
- ICAP Kenya
- North Star Alliance East Africa
Not on this list? Prequalification for new organizations is reviewed case by case — contact us to start the process.
There is an exception for large orders. Even without prior prequalification, Johnesco may still accept an LPO once 70% of the total order value is paid upfront — the LPO and the deposit are issued together, and the balance is invoiced on delivery. This is decided case by case, not automatic.
Sales-managed deposit requests
Only Johnesco sales staff can submit a deposit request through the reviewed sales process. Individual customers cannot apply for deposit terms through their account or checkout. The existing sales approval and confirmed-funding checks continue to apply.
Credit limits, payment dates and overdue accounts
Existing prequalification requirements continue to apply. Approved invoice credit has a 30-day payment term, recorded on the invoice. Credit exposure must stay within Johnesco's owner-approved operating-cost ceiling as well as the customer's approved limit. No credit is granted automatically by signing in, joining a workspace or submitting an LPO.
New credit orders are held when an account is overdue. An authorized admin can record a specific exception for review and release under the agreed terms. An exception does not cancel the debt, increase the credit ceiling or bypass production and approval checks. Existing issued invoices retain their recorded terms.
For new approved credit arrangements, the invoice records a due date 30 calendar days from issue. Any existing issued invoice keeps its agreed due date. Staff review outstanding invoices and available credit before accepting a new credit order; company workspace approval alone does not perform that financial review.
See the ordering and after-sales policy for production approvals, cancellations, refunds and courier claims.
