maximum number of days by which the due date can be shifted backwards if the
calculated due date is a non-working day (weekend or holiday). If the first

Discount Including Tax If this check box is selected, the discount is
calculated over the full invoice amount including tax. This is standard in, for
example, Germany and South Africa. If this check box is cleared, the discount is calculated over the invoice amount after subtracting the tax amount. This is standard in the Netherlands and the U.K. Use Payment Days for Discount Calculation If this check box is selected, and at least one payment
day has been specified, the calculated last day of each discount period is
moved to the next payment day. Tax After Discount If this check box is selected, tax is calculated over
the invoice amount minus the applicable discount. This is usually done in, for
example, Great Britain. If this check box is cleared, tax is calculated over the invoice amount before subtracting the applicable discount. This is the accepted procedure in most other countries. Terms of Payment Text If this check box is selected, a text is linked tot he
