Program Description
This program can be found on the Billing File Maintenance File Setup Global File Maintenance menu (BI-3-1-18-11). At the Global File Maintenance screen, enter C to change, then option 11 to access Terms Codes Global File Maintenance, or enter E to end out of the program and return to the previous menu. The Terms Codes global files store groups of records that control or define the operating parameters of the terms codes when entering customer payment information in Billing. These records are generally defined at the time of installation and rarely changed after that point.
Rev 13 Changes
New fields were added to this control file, which are described below:
Number of Days
The terms code global file has been changed to contain the number of days that relate to the terms code. The automatic inactivation program will use this new field for number of days if no due date was entered when the contract was billed, or for existing contract invoices when this enhancement is loaded. The number of days will be added to the invoice date to determine the due date of the invoice. This date is stored in a new field in the Invoice Header (INVHDRD) file. If a terms code has no definitive due date, then 9999 should be entered into the days.
