Curious case of Payment terms Code Change in the Purchase Order

Former Member — Thu, 11 Sep 2014 13:03:22 GMT

Dear All,

There has been strange case of change in Payment terms code in the PO. The scenario is

1) the purchase guy creates a PO with 30 days payment terms code then Sends the pdf which contains 30 days to the vendor.

2) The item is procured and sold to customer and when the finance guy takes the Printout of the PO and invoice to make payment its shown as 45 days.

And the users are telling they have not changed the payment terms.

So what i want to know is how this magic is happening or is there any bug .The SAP B1 version is 8.82 PL 06

3) (FROM THE ABOVE PIC) My doubt is the arrow column which shows 45 days, had been 30 days before. Is system taken from that column is also my doubt.

Has anyone faced this problem or .Kindly let me know !!!

Regards

Darshan Desai

Hi Darshan,

This is a common problem when user add new payment term on the run time.

Because the PO only saved the code for the payment term, they may not be the same as what user saw it from UI.

Try to update payment term only during non business hour that nobody use the system.

Thanks,

Gordon

Hi,

Please advice payment terms code for GRPO. Suspecting that PO raised with 30 days, but in GRPO the user may be changed to 45 days.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi sir,

Thanks for your reply.

But my doubt is the user selects the PO for 30 days and send for approval, after being approved they add to the system and send to the vendor. The payment terms in document would be 45 days. But in the change log if we check there is no change of the payment terms and in the system shows the first posting as 45 days..

Can you explain me how this happens as the user select the payment term once and he does not update it.

The payment term code may be switched by system.

Hi,

Thanks for the replies. I have changed the authorization of the users to NO Authorization. So they can select the payment terms once when they are doing a PO, and will not be able to modify it later.

Will see after this also an changes happen.

Thanks&Regards
