The system calculates the due date according to the " Collection - Payment Schedule ", which is linked to the supplier account information.
Collection - Payment Plan Selection
If this plan is not defined in the supplier master data, you can select a predefined plan from the "Collection - Payment Plans" window under the "Purchasing" tab. When you select the plan, the system displays the "Maturity - Cash Flow" information. Then you must save the document.
Calculating Maturity Dates and Possible Amounts for Different Purchase Amount Rates
There may be different maturities for different purchase rates. In this case, you can add this plan with the "New Maturity Line" button. For example; You and your supplier agree on a payment plan where 50% of the total purchase transaction amount is to be paid on the shipment date and the rest is to be paid one week later. You can add a new maturity line with Day = 0 and Rate = 50, and then add another line with Day = 7 and Rate = 50 and save. The system will automatically calculate the dates and amounts.
Note: If you want to change the maturity - cash flow information that is automatically displayed according to your "Collection - Payment Schedule" selection, you must first delete the "Collection - Payment Schedule" information.
