Step 4: Setup Account Informaton

In some cases to make processing shipments and invoices easier; we allow to default payment terms, remit to and ship from addresses across all retail channels. To learn more about each see below.

Edit Payment Terms

Under Settings > Account Information you can setup default payment terms across all your retail channels. Under Default Payment Terms, you can default across all retail channels or enter Partner Specific Payment Terms.

Setting default payment terms will be used in 3 different scenarios. 

  1. If you are creating invoices automatically off of a shipment or order. Setting your payment terms can be configured per retail channel. This will allow you to send the terms of your invoices without requiring any manual effort.
  2. If you are creating invoices in the portal. Being that payment terms per retail channel do not change often, it is best to default these to ensure they are always being sent on your invoices.
  3. If you are not sending your payment terms through any of the normal integrated methods (CSV, XML, JSON, API, EDI). The fields that you can default are listed below.

 Note:

If you send an invoice with any of the values below, then none will default. For example, if you send N30 in PaymentTerm.TermsDescription and have a value of "30" set for Net Days Due, the "30" will not default in PaymentTerm.PayInNumberOfDays. You will need to leave all values blank to have the fields default.

Field

API Field

Description

Terms Description

PaymentTerm.TermsDescription

Description of the payment terms. This will be a free form description.

Net Days Due

PaymentTerm.PayInNumberOfDays

Number of days in which the invoice is due, before additional charges are accrued.

Net Discount Days Due

Discount Percentage

Edit Remittance Address

Under Settings > Account Information you can setup default your remittance across all your retail channels. Under Default Remit To Address, you can default across all retail channels or enter Partner Specific Remit To Addresses.

  1. If you are creating invoices automatically off of a shipment or order. Setting your remit to address can be configured per retail channel. This will allow you to send the address on your invoices without requiring any manual effort.
  2. If you are creating invoices in the portal. If you are creating a lot of invoices in the portal a few additional clicks can make creating invoices more time consuming. If you have a defaulted address, there will be no need to click through the address books.
  3. If you are not sending your address through any of the normal integrated methods (CSV, XML, JSON, API, EDI). The fields that you can default are listed below.

 Note:

If you send an invoice with any of the values below, then none will default. For example, if you send "Acme Co" in RemitToAddress.CompanyName and have a value of "1 Enterprise Dr." set for Address Line 1, the "1 Enterprise Dr." will not default in RemitToAddress.Address1. You will need to leave all values blank to have the fields default.
