Examples of credit and cash discount periods

In this topic, you can find examples that demonstrate how the credit period and cash discount period are calculated based on the calculation method of the applicable payment terms.

Structure of these examples

Each section describes a particular method of calculating the length of credit period and discount period defined by the payment terms. You select the calculation method in the Due date type field in the Payment terms (CS206500) window.

In each section, the first column of the table lists the options that you can select in the Discount type field, based on the method selected for due date calculation.
The second column contains sample settings for each option that you could use to configure the payment terms in the Payment terms (CS206500) window, as well as the document date from the Visma.net ERP window used to create the document. The third column displays the resulting payment period and cash discount period for the document date specified in the sample settings. This column includes a diagram that shows the resulting credit period and cash discount period. The legend of the diagram is as follows:

  • : Starting and ending dates of the credit period
  • : Days of the credit period
  • : Days of the cash discount period
