Definition

Keys that are defined via terms if payment in the from of cash discount percentage rates and payment deadlines.

Use

The key is used in orders, purchase orders and invoices. The associated payment conditions give information on the cash management and forecast, dunning and payment transactions.

Procedure

When entering a business transaction the field for the terms of payment key can be filled in different ways:

  • For most business transactions the system suggests a key in the master record of the business partner.
  • When entering credit memos in financial accounting a special key can be set in the master record. If such a key is set, you can use "*" to get the keys needed for invoices from the master record of your business partner.
  • Independently of whether a key is suggested from the master record, you can enter the following when entering a key:
    • for orders at item level
    • for purcahse orders and invoices at the header level

Note

Master records have separate areas for financial accounting, Sales and Distribution and purchasing. In these areas you can set payment conditon keys. The applications use the keys in their master records when creating new business transactions.
