| Infor ERP LN 6.1 FP2 In Infor ERP LN 6.1 FP2, you can define a payment schedule for the terms of payment. To define a different payment schedule, you must define new terms of payment. The discount days and discount percentages are part of the terms of payment. The payment period of each line of a payment schedule must exceed the payment period of the previous line. For invoices to which a payment schedule is attached, the aging analysis is based on the planned payment date. Infor ERP LN 6.1 FP3 In Infor ERP LN 6.1 FP3, you can define payment schedules independently of the terms of payment, and you can re-use a payment schedule for several terms of payment. Payment schedules consist of a payment schedule header and payment schedule lines. The payment schedule header defines whether the payment amounts are specified as a percentage or through a factor, and the payment period type, which can be Days, Months, or Fiscal Periods. The payment schedule lines define a part of the invoice amount to be paid within a specific period. For each schedule line, you can define three discount periods and discount percentages. The payment schedule lines are independent of each other. You can specify a separate payment method or receipt method for each line. For every line of the payment schedule, ERP LN uses the due date calculation defined for the terms of payment to which you link the payment schedule. Several payment schedule lines can have the same due date. You link payment schedules to sales invoices through the terms of payment. If a payment schedule is linked to an invoice, the schedule lines take the place of the invoice, for example, for payment advice and direct debit advice, open entry balances, aging analysis, blocking codes, and to write off currency differences. In Central Invoicing, ERP LN prints the payment schedule on invoices and draft invoices to inform the business partner of the due dates and discount conditions.
