Scary Essendo una fattura italiana non mi stupirei se intendessero dire che il pagamento viene effettuato ogni 20 gennaio della decade successiva all'emissione della fattura. Pertanto una fattura in data odierna verrebbe pagata il 20 gennaio 2020 (!).

This is weird!
However, here's my try. Hope it will help. :)
These guys are paying invoices basing on ten-day periods, hence the 10th, 20th, and 30th of the month; which means that if you invoice them today they will pay 20 days after the 20th of February.
