Payment terms represent typical agreements with you and your business partners. This apply to transactions with customers and vendors.
When a purchasing or sales document is created for a customer or vendor, SAP Business One will copy the information like payment period, price list, and total discount into the document. This information is used to calculate the due date of an invoice, prices of items, or the total discount allowed etc.
You can also change the payment term data manually in the transaction itself if a special agreement was made for that transaction. In addition, the information on the credit limit is copied from the payment term to the customer master record and then to the sales document and can be used for a credit check.
