Purchase order with multiple payment terms

How can you handle multiple due dates on a purchase order? As an example the PO has terms where 50% is due upon delivery and 50% due in 60 days, as an example.

Has anyone used payment schedules or an ISV to accomplish this?
Thanks!

RE: Purchase order with multiple payment terms

Tools->Setup->Company->Payment Terms is where you set up your payment terms. I suppose you could set the due date to zero and the discount date to 60. There really is no way to say 50% due upon receipt with the rest due in 60 days.

RE: Purchase order with multiple payment terms

Thanks for the replies. I'm not sure I understand how this would work.

In this example, we would receive/invoice the entire PO. So the entire PO would become an invoice with a due date based on the payment terms tied to the PO. At that time, 50% of the invoice would be due immediately and 50% would be due in 60 days.

Good Day

Richard is correct that the Payment Terms would only come into effect on the Payables side - as long as your Term is setup as mentioned, it should be fine.

(Always test first! :) )

Thanks!

RE: Purchase order with multiple payment terms

Payment terms are not a function of a PO. The payment term will be passed down to the resulting payables document so as long as you assign a payment term of 50% upon receipt and 50% net 60 you will be fine.
