The objective of these indicators is to compare the different payment terms from SAP masterdata and documents in Solvay 3 legacies (RCS Rhodia, Solvay PF1 and Acetow RHO) :

 

PAYMENT TERMS DEFINITION :


  1. Vendor Payment terms (PUR) are always linked to a Purchasing Organization : 
     Then, a same supplier can have different payment terms according to Solvay different Purchasing Organizations

  2. Creditor Payment Terms (Co) are always linked to a Company: 
     Then a same supplier can have different payment terms according to Solvay different companies

  3. Vendor Payment Terms (LFM2) are linked to a plant :
     Then a same supplier can have different payment terms according to Solvay different  plants

  4. If  Vendor Payment Terms (PUR), 'Vendor Payment Terms (LFM2) and  PO Payment terms are not assigned and if there is no Vendor of PO :
    Then it is a flow without Purchase Orders (Direct Invoice)
    Therefore Creditor Payment terms (Co) and Invoice Payment terms are completed with the payment terms

  5. If SAP Contract Payment terms are not assigned :
    Then no SAP contracts exist

  6. If Invoice Payment Terms are not assigned
    Then no Invoice payments terms exist, the payment has been done manually by the accounting department 

  7. Payment terms can be modified manually at PO level, Contract level and also Invoice level
    Then payment terms can be different sometimes

 

HOW TO COMPARE PAYMENT TERMS ?

  1. Compare the SAP Contract Payment terms with the PO Payment terms :
    They should be the same unless backoffice changed it in the Purchase Order

  2. If there is no contract, the PO Payment terms should come from the Vendor Payment Terms (LFM2) linked to the Plant if mentioned in the masterdata (optional) :
    Then PO Payment terms should be the same than Vendor Payment terms (LFM2) unless backoffice changed it in the Purchase Order

  3. If there is no contract, no Vendor Payment Terms (LFM2) then the PO Payment terms will come from the Vendor Payment Terms (PUR) linked to the Purchasing Organization :
    Then PO Payment terms should be the same than Vendor Payment terms (PUR) unless backoffice changed it in the Purchase Order

  4. Compare the Invoice Payment terms with the PO Payment terms :

    They should be the same except :
  • if the accounting department changes it in the invoice
  • if the accounting department makes manual payment using a specific field ("base date") when invoice payment terms are not assigned
