Terms

Terms

Standard

Standard or Non-Standard

In Sage 50:

Use Standard Terms=False

Due in Number of Days=True

C.O.D.=False

Due at the end of the month=False

Note: QuickBooks allows you to set up a list of terms. When setting up vendors, you can select any one of the terms from the list. Sage 50 sets up a single set of standard terms in Vendor Defaults. Then, when setting up a vendor, you choose whether or not the vendor uses standard terms. Therefore, all QuickBooks vendors are converted as using non-standard terms, with each Sage 50 term based on the QuickBooks terms selected.
