You can set up a default payment term that can be used for all vendors and for related purchase agreements, purchase orders, and vendor invoices. For example, you might create a default term in which payments are due within 30 days of the document date. You can also override a default term for a specific vendor or for a specific vendor invoice by selecting a different term on the Vendors form.

Note
