  2. Under Term type, select one of the following options:
    • Select and enter the Days from invoice date or Days after EOM
    • Select COD
    • Select Last day of month
  3. Select whether to set the payment term as the Default option.
    • Terms selected as default display a green tick in the Default column in the Payment Terms list.
  4. Select whether to Update all customers.
  5. Click Create.

Payment terms that are assigned or being used by a customer / supplier / contractor / invoice cannot be edited or archived.

Setting a payment term as the default for customers and updating customers with payment terms does not change the terms currently applied to existing invoices.

In the Payment Terms list, click the delete icon besides the required Payment Term Name to archive the corresponding payment term.
