Payment Term
Enhancement 1
In this release, system provides new feature payment term after specific days with ‘Fix Month Cutoff’ and ‘Fix Month Offset’
Earlier, ‘Fix Month Offset’ and ‘Fix Month Cutoff’ used to display once ‘Fixed Due Date’ checkbox set true. Now these field will be display even this checkbox is false.
Payment Term Without Schedule
‘Fix Month Cutoff’ and “Fix Month Offset” fields are used for the calculation of billing cycle. How to use these filed for calculation explained below
For the calculation of Due Date, system will first calculate Start Date and then calculate Due Date.
Start Date always be 1ST day of month and month will be calculated by the system according to defined ‘Fix Month Cutoff’ and “Fix Month Offset”.
For Example:
Case A
Invoice Date | Fix Month Offset | Fix Month Cutoff | Net Days | Due Date |
April 04, 2019 | 1 | 15 | 90 | July 30, 2019 |
In the above example, Invoice date is less than ‘Fix Month Cutoff’. So for the calculation of Start Date, Invoice Month will become base month and ‘Fix Month Offset’ is one.
Start Date = May 01, 2019 [1st day of (Invoice month + Fix Month Offset)]
Now for the calculation of Due Date System will add Net Days to the Start Date.
Hence, due date will be (May 01, 2019 + 90 days ) = July 30, 2019
Case B
Invoice Date | Fix Month Offset | Fix Month Cutoff | Net Days | Due Date |
April 20, 2019 | 1 | 15 | 90 | Aug 30, 2019 |
In the above example, Invoice date is greater than ‘Fix Month Cutoff’ then consider invoice next month as a base for calculation of Start Date.
so Start date is [ 1st day of (Invoice date next month is, May + Fix month offset )] = June 01, 2019
and Due Date is June 01, 2019 + Net days (90) = Aug 30, 2019.
If Fix Month Offset’ and ‘Fix Month Cutoff’ has value 0 then system will simply add ‘Net Days’ to invoice date. For example:
Invoice Date | Fix Month Offset | Fix Month Cutoff | Net Days | Due Date |
April 04, 2019 | 0 | 0 | 90 | J 9 |
In above example, invoice created on April 04, 2019 and add ‘Net Days’ to invoice date. Invoice due date would be July 03, 2019
In case Invoice Invoice Date is equal to ‘Fix Month Cutoff’ then system will work according to Case A.
Below are the few example of payment terms without schedule
Payment terms with Schedule
When there is payment term having multiple schedule, system will pick ‘Fix Month Offset’ and ‘Fix Month CutOff’ from header and net days would be picked from schedule tab.
‘Fix Month Offset’ and ‘Fix Month CutOff’ do not work for advance schedule. Either full advance or partial advance.
Below are the few example of payment terms with schedule
Enhancement 2
In this release, VA System provides new feature payment term i.e., AdHoc and Week day Payment Term within the VA System.
AdHoc Payment Term- User can enter invoice due date manually irrespective of using pre-defined payment terms.
In AR Invoice/AP Invoice header ‘Due Date’ field is available, where user can enter invoice due date manually. If Due Date is manually entered on invoice header, then the system creates only one payment schedule based on entered due date. If Due Date is null then system creates payment schedule(s) based on the selected Payment Term. System gives preference to the manually entered due date instead of selected payment term.
Week day Payment Term- User can set due date on particular day of week.
Enable ‘Net Day’ field and Rename ‘Net day’ to ‘Week Day’.
Create new field ‘Week offset’ in Payment Term header and It should display, When the value is entered in Week Day. The Week offset indicates the number of weeks from the current week to indicate an invoice is due. 0 indicates the same week, 1 indicates the following week.
The functionality of ‘Week Day’ and ‘Week Offset’ on completion of AP Invoice and AR Invoice:
“Week Day” and “Week offset” fields are used for the calculation of the billing cycle. How to use these filed for calculation explained below
