Payment terms

To enter payment terms, go to the folder Settings > Projects > Payment terms:

Payment terms are used for posting via accounting extensions and exist for debtors and creditors.

The designation on the payment terms is language-specific. It is an MLString field. The attribute Invoice.ConditionText uses the text in the project language, so that the payment terms can be printed on the invoices in the project language.

In System settings - Accounting , there are two selection fields, Acc. receivable payment terms and Acc payable payment terms, which you can use to define a default.

This payment term is used at the following levels, and can be overridden, if necessary:

Acc payable payment terms:

• project type
• project
• address
• creditor

Acc receiveable payment terms:

• project type
• project
• address
• invoice

The entered conditions are objects of type DebiKondition or KrediKondition and have the following attributes:

• code (string)
• designation (string)
• deadline (integer)

They can be found on the following classes:

• Class: project
  Member: Debikondition
• Class: address
  Member: DebiKondition, KrediKondition
• Class: invoice
  Member: DebiKondition, KonditionText (designation of the selected condition, to be displayed on invoice reports)
• Class: creditor
  Member: KrediKondition

The entered conditions are saved as ObjectReferences and must be cast during a direct OCL callup. Example:

debikondition.oclAsType(DebiKondition).frist

returns the corresponding payment term on the calling object.
