Manage Payment Terms

When you set up payment terms, you indicate when you expect payment to be made as well as identify conditions like what incentives students receive if they pay their fees early.

The payment terms you set up on the Manage Receivables Payment Terms page are used in Student Management financials system options.

You can use the seeded payment terms, or create new ones to suit your requirements.
