Summary
Payment terms allow you to define how invoice due dates are set and are required in order to setup accounts receivable terms (AR terms). AR terms are selected when creating accounts in order to specify the invoice due dates and dunning rules that apply to the account.
In this example we will add a payment term that is configured with a Net 30 configuration so that payment will be due 30 days after the invoice is created/the bill date of the account.
The Start date when configuring a ‘Net’ due date is determined by the bill group setting 'Invoice Due Date Based On'.
For additional details on the fields presented on the payment terms screen see the Payment Terms screen help article.
