Definition

Determines the date when the invoice is due to be paid, based on the baseline date for payment and the cash discount granted.

Use

You select blocked invoices according to the due date in order to pay invoices promptly before the maximum cash discount granted expires. You thus avoid having to move the cash discount date or having to accept losses due to expired cash discounts at the time of payment.

Example

The system calculates the due date as follows:

Baseline date for payment + cash discount day 1 = due date

  • Baseline date for payment:
    • 03.01.99
  • Terms of payment:
    • 14 days 3% cash discount
    • 30 days 2% cash discount
    • 45 days net

The due date is 03.15.99.
