Reproducing the Issue

- Go to implementation Projects view
- Go to fine tune activity
- Search for Activity Suppliers
- Click Define Payment Terms for Procurement
- Click Add row
- Enter the payment term ID starting with Z
- Enter the description

- 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.
