Dear experts,

I experienced the setup for Term of payment on Set up Accounts payable for cash flow forecasting doesn't apply.

Did anyone see this result before:

1. Setup

Term of payment

2. PO: Term of payment: blank:

3. Expectation:

Delivery date = 15/ 07/2021

=> Expected Invoice date: Delivery date + Time between delivery date and invoice date = 15/07/2021 + 1 = 16/07/2021

=> Due date: Expected invoice date + Term of payment on Cashflow setup = 16/07/2021 + 15 = 31/07/2021

=> Cash out : Due date + Time between invoice due date and pay date (for vendor) = 31/07/2021 + 10 = 10/08/2021

4. Result:

=> Missing 15 days as setting for Default term of payment

Please advice,

Thank and best regards,

Thu,

    Hi Ludwig,

    I don't have planned purchase order but i have demand forecast,

    And it works:

    - Demand date: 7/30/2021

    - Terms of payment: 15 days

    - Time between invoice due date and payment date: 10 days

    => Cash in date: 8/24/2021

    Thank for the clarification

    Best regards,

    Hi Thu,

    You are right with the quote and the info you found on MS docs but you have to be very careful.

    It says ... the forecast ... and not the purchase order!

    For the purchase order due date calculation the terms of payment entered in the header is crucial.

    Can you do me a favor and run the cash flow forecast process?

    Once this calculation is completed, check the cash flow payment date for this specific purchase order.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig

    Hi Ludwig,

    Thank you for your reply, since during testing i found it not as mentioned on MS doc.

    Base on below document, i thought that if my PO doesn't have term of payment, the cashflow should take the default value from here.

    So i not really understand the meaning of  "isn't specified on transaction" will apply for which circumstances?

    Best regards,

    Thu

    Hello Thu,

    I think you expect more from D365FO than it actually does in this respect.

    The terms of payment in your PO comes from your default terms of payment that is linked to your vendor "US-112".

    If this vendor has no terms of payment setup, the respective field in the PO header will be blank.

    As a result your due date calculations might be different from what you expect.

    The terms that you set up in the cash flow forecast forms are not copied automatically into your PO header if the vendor does not have a terms of payment set up. If you want to have that, you need to make a system modification.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig
