When entering an invoice in AP20.1 can the default vendor payment terms populate in the pmt terms field when the Vendor is selected? Otherwise you have to drill into the vendor number and find out what the default is to know it you need to change it in the AP20 field. Our Data Entry staff would like to know if the field can auto populate from the vendor record.

If you own design studio, this should be a fairly easy program change. It is already pulling the address from the vendor record to populate on input of the vendor number.

Yes, you can default the vendor terms on AP20. We have been doing it for years and you do not need any design studio! First you need to have the vendor terms set up on AP10. Then when entering an invoice you leave the due date field and Vendor terms fields blank. Lawson looks to the Terms on AP10 and calculates when the invoice is due. Also if you have discount terms set up it will also calculate that. Although it displays the net terms on AP20

Tom, did you have to use Design Studio to get this accomplished? We're at the same crossroads here and was wondering what your final solution was. Lawson recomended using Design Studio, but unfortuently we don't really have an in house expert.

Karen's solution above should work. It's simple and it's how Lawson designed payment terms to be defaulted.

That is standard Lawson for using AP terms, but what I really am after is having the terms populate on screen as soon as the vendor number is entered on AP20, similar to the vendor name and address. Standard Lawson populates the due date after the invoices is added.
