DUE DATE CALCULATION
Days Specifies the number of days until the payment is due. Counting begins according to the Start from setting.
Start from Determines when to start counting the days until payment is due.
  • Invoice date - Counting begins on the invoice date. The due date equals the invoice date plus the number of days specified in the Days setting.
  • End of the month of the invoice date - Counting begins at the end of the month of the invoice date. For example, assume Days is set to "30" and the invoice date is July 9. Counting begins at the end of the month, which is July 31. This means the calculated invoice due date is August 30. In other words, the first day of the next month is day one of the due date calculation.

Apply calculation Specifies whether the due date calculation is always applied, or only applied if the due date field is empty.
  • Always - When an invoice is processed by a suppler that uses this payment term, the due date calculation is always applied.
  • Only if due date is empty - The calculated due date is only applied if the due date value on the invoice is empty.
