Hi

That pament date is the date of line item comes due for payment. Billing date+Pament terms= Due date.

This field is helpful for the following scenario,

You have sent an invoice on 01.08.08 and the pament due date is one month. Due on 01.09.08. This is calculated from the pament term. Now the customer rejected some ofthe material and sending you back as sales returns. Now you are creating a credit note on 04.08.08 and post it to accounting. If the due date of the original invoice is not taken for consdered then you are paying the customer who has not yet pay you for the original invoice.To avoid this, the pament due date is taken from the original invoice if you mark VALDT field.
