Copy a Set of Payment Terms

You can copy a set of payment terms to another set of contract terms or to a payable analyte in the current contract or in another contract. Sets of payment terms can be copied to service and freight contracts, but not copied from service and freight contracts. Copied payment terms are added to any payment terms that are already in the destination set of contract terms. That is, existing payment terms are not replaced.

Instalments, payment conditions and payable percentage overrides are included in the copied payment terms. (However, payable percentage overrides are not applicable to payment terms for payable analytes; therefore, that tab does not display.)

Security Note: You need the Allow contract maintenance security right in the Contracts domain security rights group for this activity.
