Documentation

Definition

Key used to define terms of payment in the form of cash discount percentage rates and payment periods.

Use

The key is used in orders, purchase orders, and invoices. The terms of payment provide information for the cash management and forecast, for dunning, and for payment transactions.

Procedure

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

  • For most business transactions the system proposes a key defined in the business partner master record.
  • You can define a special key in the master record for entering credit memos in financial accounting. If no such key is defined, you can copy the key defined for invoices from the business partner master record by entering "*".
  • Irrespective of whether a key is proposed from the master record, you can enter a key manually when you enter a business transaction:
    • For orders, at item level
    • For purchase orders and invoices, at header level

Note

Master records have separate areas for financial accounting, sales and distribution, and purchasing. You can define terms of payment keys in these areas. When you enter business transactions, the applications use the key defined in their master record area.
