or press the Scan key to review the records currently
on file and select one for editing or viewing.Use this function to perform file maintenance on the Vendor Terms file. During invoice entry, the system computes and enters the discount amount, discount due date, and invoice due date for each invoice based on the terms code assigned to the vendor and defined here. Due dates can be based on the invoice date, the end of the month, or up to two specific days within the month, combined with a given number of days.
The Vendor Terms Screen, shown in Figure 4-3 below, appears when you select Terms from the File Maintenance Pulldown Menu. If you intend to specify a Payment Terms code in Parameters File Maintenance (for use as a default in Vendors File Maintenance), you should first add this code here and define its terms.
You normally enter this function in Inquire mode but you can change
mode by using the mode icons on the toolbar or the mode function keys.
Since Change mode places a hold on the selected record, use Change mode
only when you intend to change data. If desired, in key entry, you can
click on or press the Scan key to review the records currently
on file and select one for editing or viewing.
