On the form, you can specify a description for the Purchasing Payment Terms and the payment schedule.

The Purchasing Payment Terms (create) form

In the Description field enter the payment terms description that will be displayed in the system interface and in drop-down lists.

<Auto> in the Code field indicates that a unique code for the new payment terms is assigned automatically when you save the master record.

Use a table to define the payment schedule. There can be any number of payment installments (or stages) totaling exactly 100% (in the Payment, % column) of the payment amount.

Click Add to add an installment and select its stage type:

• Prepayment: If this stage type is used, the entity must pay a prepayment; only then the goods will be shipped by the supplier.
• Payment on Delivery: This installment must be paid to the supplier on delivery of the goods and services (when the goods are received).
• Credit: This installment must be paid within the specified number of days after the goods had been delivered.

If the purchasing payment terms can be considered as a member of a certain group of payment terms, select this group in the Folder field (to create a new group, click the button in the Groups drop-down list).

Use the Cash Type radio buttons to select the planned type of payment: Cash, Non-Cash (Cashless), or Unknown (the default option).
