Purchase Order Discount Terms

To create a PO for a vendor who offers discount terms:

1) Create a vendor term entry, if it doesn't already exist, by going to {menu:vendor-terms|1TBWE6R6gR}. Set a Discount Percent and Discount Days, if payment is required within a certain number of days to get a discount.

2) Set the discount terms as the vendor's default Payment Terms by going to the Vendor Terms section when editing the vendor ({menu:vendors|uMy6dy1lY1}).

3) Create a new PO by going to {menu:purchase-orders|gZtI3yPK5H} -> New Purchase Order. When you select the vendor for the PO, the default terms will appear in the Vendor Terms - This PO box. 

You can prevent Vendor Terms from being changed on POs (only the default terms set up for the vendor can be used) by turning on the setting {menu:general-setup|pLrweifveD} -> PO -> Block Changing PO Vendor Terms. You can allow certain users to override this setting when its on by turning on the user setting {menu:users|ocQ4lrGhyY} -> User Rights For Company -> Can Always Change PO Vendor Terms Regardless Of Company Setting.

When the PO is converted to a vendor bill, the terms on the purchase order will pass to the bill.
