Payment terms automation:

 

Payment terms can be managed at the quote header OR at the quote line item level.

 

  • If a payment term is set at the quote header level, payment terms of the line items will be set this value.
  • If a payment term is set on the header, and the user set a different payment term on a line item, the header payment term will be set to 'no value'.
  • If a user update the header payment value from 'no value' to a value, all line items payment terms will be updated to this value, even if they had a another value.
