why we have to maintain payment terms in two places

[Former Member]

Please any one can answer, while we r creating customer master record centrally, why we have to maintain payment terms in sales area tab and as well as in company code tab also?

hello,

while we are creating an order the system checks the payment terms of the customer master(SPor payer).

The system checks payment terms from the customer master data first. If not maintained it takes payment terms from the company code data.

Hi,

In sap u will define and assigne in several places, as system should take priority basis.

In paymet terms. system will search for customer master where u assign to account group and it will determine the payment terms automatically.

If the system doesnt find the payment terms in customer master then it will go to company code for the payments terms.
