Summary
Accounts receivable (AR) terms determine when payment is due (using configured payment terms) and what actions are executed when payment has not been received (using dunning rules). Multiple AR terms can be setup to handle the account types you have defined (partner, customer, etc.). The AR terms you configure on this screen are selectable when creating new accounts and adjustable on existing accounts from the account settings screen.
For additional details on the fields presented on this screen see the the Accounts Receiveable Terms guide.
