The Edit Payment Term Panel

The information in this panel reflects the currently selected payment term. From here you can change payment term details (fields will display a red left border if a value is required and purple text if the field is read-only and cannot be modifiednote: fields with a magenta left border are required).

Payment Term Fields and Options:

• Name: a unique and descriptive name to describe the payment term. E.g. 'Net 20', 'On Due Date', 'Due on 1st', etc.

• Payment Term Type: the type specifies how the payment due date will be determined. The options are listed below

  • Day of Month: specifies a particular day that payment is due. The 'Day Of Month' field will appear when this option is selected allowing you to enter the due day (a value from 1 to 28 is permitted in this field). If you set the day to '10' and the customer's invoice is posted on Oct 1^st then payment for the customer will be due on Oct 10^th. If the day is 10 and the customer's invoice is generated on Oct 11^th, then payment will be due on Nov 10^th

  • Net: allows you to set the number of days after the invoice render date/account bill date that the invoice is due (the starting date used is determined by the bill group setting 'Invoice Due Date Based On'). When 'Net' is selected an additional field called 'Term' will appear allowing you to enter a value from 1 to 365. If you set the Term to 20 then payment will be due 20 days after the invoice render date/account bill day
