    Payment Terms Group Code

    Transaction Period
    The period in which the transaction took place.
    Note:  Order lines can have different dates and periods in order to handle scheduled orders where the different order lines represent goods or services that are delivered on different dates. The order lines can then be invoiced separately when they have been fulfilled. The Sales Invoice Generation function only creates one sales invoice with one transaction period for the order lines that it processes, depending upon the consolidation rules. Order lines can also be invoiced in advanced by using the Generate Invoice Parameter form to override the default current date and period.
