How to obtain different payment terms in one sales order?

[ttsuboi1106]

Hi All,

I have case that we have a different payment terms for the same customer when they place an order for a certain product.

I know that only one payment terms can be set to Customer Master.

How do I handle such case?

You can differentiate the payment terms via pricing condition.  Maintain the required payment terms against each material in VK11 so that system will automatically pick this.

Hi Naren,

We had similar scenario in my earlier implementation. Business wants different payment terms for few materials.

Kesari,

different payment terms for few materials.

Interesting point!

Could you please describe this business requirement?

Generally, "the manner in which to pay" depends upon the agreement between the company (seller) and the customer. I.e. at an organizational level.

But you faced a requirement based on materials (or material groups)!

Hi TW,

I like the way you ask the questions

Here is the requirement:

Client : Life Sciences.

Business Requirement: Client wanted to have monopoly for one brand whihc is very expensive. Hence, they have comeup with 30,40,40 installments.

Solution: Maintain the Payment term in VK11 of the particular material price records.

Hope you like this requirement

I have had this before and it was based on the fact the new produts were not known in the market and the retailer had to some promotions with the distributor.

Consignment was not considered an option!!

Tina,

First a configuration step is needed.

In VOV7, for the item category, activate field "Business Data".

This would allow different Payment terms (ZTERM) at header and item levels. (and also different payment terms in different line items of the same sales order).

For the question of how or what steps to follow, Kesari has explained it.

Hi,

You can have multiple payment terms in sales order depends on line item.

1. You can change the payment term manually in each line item billing document view.

2. You can even mantian payment term for each condition record in VK11, so based on that system will pick up in your sales order line item.

Regards, Sai Krishna.

Hi Kesari and all,

Thank you for confirming that I can have multiple payment terms in one sales order.

I don't have access to SAP now, but I will check t-cd VK11 later.
