Credit Terms

Credit terms set when payment is due: when customers must pay you and when you must pay your suppliers (e.g. 30 days from the statement date).

Credit terms are a lookup list that you create. Customers and suppliers use the same list. A setting lets you use the credit terms to set due or payment dates on transactions automatically.
