Payment terms are reusable due-date rules. They do not collect payment by themselves, but they affect what the customer or vendor is expected to pay and when.

Open Payment Terms

  1. Open Settings.
  2. Choose Entity Settings.
  3. Open Purchasing or Payments and Checks, depending on the page you are reviewing.
  4. Choose Payment Terms.

Where Terms Are Used

  • Account defaults.
  • Sales orders and quotes.
  • Invoices and payment due dates.
  • Overdue reminders.
  • Vendor bills.
  • Purchasing defaults.
  • Aging reports and collection review.
If an old term has already been used, make it inactive instead of deleting it so historical records still read correctly.

Common Blocks

  • Term is missing from a dropdown: confirm it is active.
  • Wrong due date appears: check account default, order selection, invoice date, and entity default.
  • Old term should not be used anymore: mark it inactive.
  • Imported terms look duplicated: review names and day counts before importing again.
  • Overdue reminder timing looks wrong: confirm the invoice date and selected payment term.
