    Hi Tracey,

    Thanks for your reply.

     

    As I am setting up a new data file we just wanted to get this right.

    So after taking into consideration what you have said

    We have come up with this formula:-

    We set our customers up as

    Day of Month after EOM

    Discount = EOM

    Day = 30th

    If we set up this way

    reports are correct

    ageing is correct

    and payment due days is correct

    Statements are correct (running them at the 1st on the following mth)

    Can you see any issues with this.

Hi NowHolly70 

 

There's no issue at all with either of those credit term options you have looked at. The only thing about choosing a number of days after EOM, ie 30 or 31, is that statement aging will be affected according to the number of days in the month and the date you run the statement.

 

Day of month after EOM - EOM is a common choice for businesses as payment is due on the last day of the month regardless of the number of days in the month, so it's easier to tell when invoices are due.

 

But it really is up to your business which option you choose based on what suits your needs best. This help article explains the different credit terms in more detail:  Credit terms
