Within the Spend Cloud, the Terms of payment are used when encoding invoices and indicate within which term the invoices need to be handled.
From the menu item Terms of payment in the Applicationmanagement> General, an overview can be seen of all available paymemt terms within the Spend Cloud environment. With the selection criteria it is possible to search for specific payementterms by name & number and depening on the structure of your environment, you can also search on administration-level.
It is possible to mark a specific Term of payment as default, this can be done via various places in the Spend Cloud:
- When adding / altering a paymentterm
- Within the settings of the administration
- Within the settings of de supplier / relation
Default Terms of payment
In case a specific paymentterm is set as default, this term will automatically be used for every newly added invoice in the environment. This option is only available when the paymentterms are not set per administration.
Default Terms of payment (per) administration
A default paymentterm can be set within the settings of the administration. In case your environment includes multiple administrations, a default paymentterm can be set per administration. The default will be used when invoices are booked on that administration.
Default per supplier / relation
It is possible to set a default paymentterm per supplier / relation, the default data will be automatically used when the creditor is identified.
When the default paymentterms are automatically applied by the system (by any of the above setting), it is always possible to manually change these.
