Hi Sarika

The field ZTERM refers to payment terms.

This can be defined at 
  1. Company Code Level i.e KNB1.
  2. At Sales Area Level i.e KNVV.

For a customer the terms can be different for each sales area.

To check the same, 
  1. Go to transaction XD03.
  2. Give the company code and Sales Area
  3. Use menupath: Goto->Company Code Data
  4. Now select tab Payment Transactions. 
     The field Terms of payment here refer to KNB1.
  5. Now use menupath: Goto-> Sales Area Data
  6. Select tab: Billing Document.
     The field Termns of payment here refer to KNVV.

Kind Regards

Eswar

Terms of payment key

Definition

Key for defining payment terms composed of cash discount percentages and

payment periods.

Use

It is used in sales orders, purchase orders, and invoices. Terms of

payment provide information for:

o Cash management

o Dunning procedures

o Payment transactions

Data can be entered in the field for the terms of payment key in various

o In most business transactions, the system defaults the key specified

in the master record of the customer/vendor in question.

o In some transactions (for example, credit memos), however, the system

does not default the key from the master record. Despite this, you can

use the key from the customer/vendor master record by entering "*" in

the field.

o Regardless of whether or not a key is defaulted from the master

record, you can manually enter a key during document entry at:

- item level in sales orders

- header level in purchase orders and invoices

Master records have separate areas for Financial Accounting, Sales, and

Purchasing. You can specify different terms of payment keys in each of

these areas. When you then enter a business transaction, the application

inquestion will use the key specified in its area of the master record.

Please refer to the answers in your similar post in SAP Solution.

Adding on the above posts..KNVV stores the customer data at sales area level and hence for the same customer being via different sales org/distribution channel/division can have different payment terms as compared to company level parameter.

In our system we use the dc as exports/domestic or intercompany ..and it is possible to have different zterm for them.
