Payment Terms Setup

Question

We are using Payment terms currently only for text purpose on Purchase Order. we define Payment terms with NO DEFAULT and un define no of days.
Now I need to use no of days field for Abap report so that i can pick no of days of payment of Terms. My question is if I define no of days in payment of terms without changing any other setting then it would affect any where else in the system or not.

Answer 1

I have rarely seen customizing that does not have any effect.
if you currently have zero days in the payment terms, then the amount is immediatly due for payment.
if you enter a value bigger than zero, then the payment becomes due at later point of time.
if it is a payment term used in vendor masters, then the invoice would not be among the payment proposals if the number of days has not past.
if it is at a customer master, then you would send a reminder at a later date.
