1. Define Payment Terms
Payables Manager –> Setup –> Invoice –> Payment Terms
Payments Terms are assigned to an Invoice to automatically create scheduled payment when
Payables Invoice Validation is submitted for the Invoice
You can define payment terms to create multiple scheduled payment lines and multiple levels of
discounts. You can create an unlimited number of payment terms.
Payment terms have one or more payment terms lines, each of which creates one scheduled
payment. Each payment terms line and each corresponding scheduled payment has a due date or
a discount date based on one of the following:
a specific day of a month, such as the 15th of the month
a specific date, for example, March 15, 2002
a number of days added to your terms date, such as 14 days after the terms date
a special calendar that specifies a due date for the period that includes the invoice terms
date. Only due dates can be based on a special calendar. Discount dates cannot be based
on a special calendar.
