2969382 - Error while creating new payment term --Net due date is missing

Symptom

You get this error while creating new payment term.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to Business configuration work center
  2. Go to  implementation Projects view
  3. Go to fine tune activity
  4. Search for Activity Suppliers
  5. Click Define Payment Terms for Procurement
  6. Click Add row
  7. Enter the  payment term ID starting with Z
  8. Enter the description
  9. Enter the days in the field"Number of Days After Invoice Date / Receipt Date (1)" or in the field" Number of Days After Invoice Date / Receipt Date (2)" under discount rate 1 granted or discount rate 2 granted respectively.
  10. Click Save

Cause

We understand that in the standard payment terms with description"End of Month of Invoice Date, XX days", you notice that details maintained under "Discount Rate 1 Granted" the Number of Days After Invoice Date / Receipt Date(1) is maintained and under "net due price" , fixed day of month is maintained.

However it is currently a limitation as you cannot maintain the same in Z payment terms because we do not allow the calculation to be as "End of Month of Invoice Date, XX days".

Instead we do allow the format "XX days from Invoice Date, End of month"

Resolution

Currently in Z payment terms

If you enter details under discount rate with Number of Days After Invoice Date / Receipt Date, then it is mandatory to maintain the Number of Days After Invoice Date / Receipt Date under 'net due price' as well.

If you enter details under discount rate with fixed day of month, then it is mandatory to maintain the fixed day of month under 'net due price' as well.

If you enter details under discount rate with additional month, then it is mandatory to maintain the additional month under 'net due price' as well.
