Payment terms applicability for Debits in Vendor account

Question

Hi all,
Whenever we credit a vendor account with defined payment terms, the net due date for that transaction will be calculated as per payment terms. I just wanted to check if the same logic applies even when we debit vendor account with defined payment terms.
When I tested this in our systems i.e by debiting vendor account with defined payment terms, found that baseline date was only getting picked as net due date & not the actual date as per payment terms. I wanted to confirm if this is a SAP standard feature or a customised feature.

Hi,
    I do not have documentation other than the F1 Help for the Field Inv.Ref
This explains it though.
Number of the Invoice the Transaction Belongs to
For line items which are related to another line item, this field contains the number of the partner document.
Use
In the standard system the field is used for:
Credit memos which refer to a particular invoice item
Subsequent invoices for an invoice item
Partial payments for an invoice item
Partial clearings of down payments.
In the first two cases mentioned, the terms of payment are copied from the cross-referenced invoice item into the item currently being processed. This ensures that items due on the same date are paid together by automatic payment.
A special rule applies to credit memos which have a "V" in this field. The due date is determined in the same way as for an invoice. If the field is empty (containing neither a document number nor a "V") the due date is the baseline date for payment.
Kind regards
