Payment term from PO

A payment term entered against a supplier is always a default payment term. The term “default” means that this value will be used if you do not enter anything else. 

So - The value you enter on the PO will always override the value entered on the supplier.

The same goes for the supplier invoice, if you enter a supplier invoice manually, the default payment term can always be overwritten by you, the user.

Hi @A K Molin ,

Yes, it is possible to set up a situation where the payment terms from a purchase order (PO) override those from the supplier master data.

Here's how this typically works:

By default, the payment terms are set up in the Supplier Master Data. This is used as the default when creating purchase orders or invoices for that specific supplier. These terms dictate how long the buyer has to pay the supplier, and they are automatically applied to all POs unless otherwise specified.

In the purchase order, you can manually define payment terms. These payment terms can be different from the supplier’s default terms. Once the PO is processed with specific payment terms, they can override the default terms set in the supplier master data.

I'm happy to share my advice on this. If you found the answer helpful, please mark it as the correct answer. This will allow us to close the thread and make it easier for other community users to find and benefit from in the future.
