Terms Code File Maintenance - Field Descriptions
Use the New/Edit Terms Code window to add, change, delete, and look up customer credit terms and related information. Examples might include "net 30 days", "COD", "2% 10th, net 30", "net 10th of month", and "net 60 days". Once established, the terms codes are used in the Customers screen to define a default terms code that will appear in Invoice Entry. At that time, a different terms code may be recorded.
