Documentation

Definition

Date to which the periods for the cash discount deadline and the due date for net payment refer. This is the case for line items in open item accounts.

For line items in G/L accounts, the item is due immediately on this date because there are no cash discount specifications.

Procedure

During document entry for open item accounts, the date may be defaulted. For this, a terms of payment key must have been specified in the customer's/vendor's master record for which a default value is requested in the document.

The proposed date can be overwritten.

If the cash discount rates (and days) have not been entered, the baseline date for payment is the same as the due date.
