Setting Up Payment Terms

Payment terms are the different terms that you offer to your customers, such as Net 30 days and Net 60 days. You set up payment terms so that they are available in your Siebel application, for example in the Quotes screen.

To set up a payment term

  1. Navigate to the Administration - Data screen, Orders, and then the Payment Terms view.

  2. Create a new record, and complete the necessary fields.
