<Warning>
  Alternatively, a Payment Terms record can be created using the corresponding Invoice
  Settings record’s related list.
</Warning>

<Danger>
  Payment Terms records CANNOT be deleted if they have related records or are used in
  other records. Deleting records is not recommended unless absolutely essential.
</Danger>

6. To modify an existing **Payment Terms** record, open the required record and select the **Edit** button
   available on the top right side of the page. You can also double click in any of the fields that need
   editing or just click on the pencil icon <InlineImage src="/images/icons/qrg-create-payment-terms-inline-1-1.png" alt="Inline icon" /> that appears within fields when you move your cursor
   over the field.
7. When complete, click on the **Save** button.

## Field Descriptions

**Payment Terms Name** is the name given to the new Payment Terms record and is then referenced in
Invoice Setting Records. This will be displayed on the Invoice PDF.
**Payment Terms Description** records a detailed description of the Payment Terms to assist Users in
selecting the correct Payment Terms. This will not be displayed on the Invoice PDF.

**Due From** defines if the Invoice Due Date should be calculated based on the Invoice Date or the Last Day
of the Month. This is a picklist of either Invoice Date or Month End.

**Days From** defines the number of days to be applied to the Invoice Date/End of Month when calculating
the Invoice Due Date. Enter the number to be combined with the Due From field to auto calculate the Due
Date.
