Payment Terms {FPMC-4}


This option allows the creation of a table of payment terms, which can, on creation of the creditor's master, be linked to a specific supplier. This information is used at two levels, namely:

*  The settlement discount applicable on an invoice (based on the creditor) is automatically displayed and the most effective payment date is

   calculated and displayed on entering an invoice, but the user can override this. When payment is made, the system decides if the conditions 

   of discount have been met; in which case discount is deducted. A report is provided {FPMOR3-9} that lists the discount to which the institution is 

   entitled if payment is made by a specified date.

*  When an External Request for Quotation (ERFQ) is generated and the creditors are selected, the system will display the discount granted which may 

   help the buyer in selecting the creditors to be approached for a quotation.

FPMC-4



Example  
  If Statement is specified, the system will calculate the most effective payment date as per the following example:

* Condition is 30 days after statement and the "normal" statement date for this creditor was specified as the 25th
* If invoice date =< 25 July, the system assumes that the invoice will appear on the statement of 25 July and therefore  
  payment is due on 25 August
* If invoice date > 25 July, the system assumes that the invoice will appear on the statement of 25 August and therefore
  payment is due on 25 September.
