What Is a Split Term?
Split terms define the net due date and discount date as a specific day of the month, depending on the invoice date. Split terms can divide a month into five segments, each having a unique net due date and discount date. Assume the following structure for the split terms code.
| Invoice Date Range | Discount On | Due On | Months Forward | 
|---|---|---|---|
| 28 - 7 | 9 | 15 | |
| 8 - 12 | 14 | 20 | |
| 13 - 18 | 19 | End of Month | |
| 19 - 27 | 3 | 10 | 1 | 
The entire range of invoiced dates can only include two overlapping months. The program calculates the ending day of the range from the beginning day of the next range.
| Invoice Date | Discount Date | Due Date | 
|---|---|---|
| January 2 | January 9 | January 15 | 
| January 8 | January 14 | January 20 | 
| January 15 | January 19 | January 31 | 
| January 22 | February 3 | February 10 | 
| January 28 | February 9 | February 15 |
