Hi, 
 
I need some information about how to manage the payment terms to get different payments in differents periods. In Spain is tipical to split up the invoice amount in different payments and in different dates. 
 
Thanks.

    Information about payments terms
    Hi, 
     
    Hi,

     What Standard Business Central Supports

    • Payment Terms in BC allow you to define a single due date using date formulas (e.g., 30D, 60D) and optionally a payment discount date.
    • Partial or installment payments (splitting one invoice into multiple scheduled payments) are not supported out-of-the-box in the base application.
    • Microsoft documentation states:
      “In the base version of Business Central, payment terms don't support partial payments. Instead, you must use the prepayments functionality. In some countries/regions, you can set up payment terms with partial payments.”[1]

    Spain Localization

    • Spanish localization does not natively add full installment functionality for multiple due dates on a single invoice. It mainly covers due date limits and SEPA-related features.[2]

    Options to Achieve Installments

    1. Prepayments (Standard Feature)
      • You can request prepayments (e.g., 30% upfront) and then invoice the balance later.
      • However, this creates multiple documents, not multiple due dates on one invoice.
    2. Custom Development
      • To keep one invoice with multiple due dates, you need customization (e.g., a subtable for installment schedules and logic for reminders, cash flow, and posting).
      • Community consensus: “No out-of-box feature; customization or separate invoices is required.”[3]
    3. ISV Extensions (Recommended)
      • Several AppSource solutions (e.g., Installment Payment Terms by AP Commerce, Instalment Payments by 365 Extensions) allow you to:
        • Define installment templates (e.g., 30%-30%-40% with specific dates).
        • Automatically split the invoice into multiple A/R entries with different due dates.
        • Track and report installments without breaking standard processes.[4][5][6]

    Summary

    • Standard BC: Only one due date per invoice; use prepayments for partial billing.
    • Installments on one invoice: Requires customization or an ISV extension.
    • Best practice for Spain: Use an AppSource extension for compliance and automation.

    Information about payments terms
    Namaste ,
     
    Payment terms flow from Vendor master into transactions there is no Standard provision to modify payment terms on posted invoice  . 
     
    However , we did a work-around for one of our customers where gave permission to update certain set of fields
     
    Proposed Workaround
    You can use feature "Update Document" , Extend the codeunit , Do customization . Update due date in posted invoice after posting partial payment agaisnt that invoice . As there is no specific logic for splitting the invoice amount . Everytime you can set the due date after posting the payment .
     
     
    If you feel , this helped please mark as "Verified"
     
    Regards
