Additional Terms on Suppliers
In your Suppliers, users will now see two new Terms to select. Once set, this will update the Due Date on any Bills put through Lightyear.
If you need to set the Due Date to the last day of the month you can use Last Day of Month. This will be useful for users who previously used EOM+30 but encountered issues when it came to February, as the Due Date was calculating into March. Now this Last Day of Month option will allow users to consistently set the last day of the month regardless of the month length.
If you need to set the Due Date to the last weekday of the month you can use Last Working Day of Month. This will set the Due Date to the final weekday of the month e.g. if you receive a bill on December 1st 2023, and have the term set as this option, the Due Date will populate as December 29th 2023 as this is a Friday and the 31st is a Sunday.
