Summary

By default, Payment Terms are controlled at the Customer level and inherited by invoices generated from subscriptions. If you need to set Payment Terms per subscription/contract, enable Generate Separate Invoice (a.k.a. “Separate Invoice for this Contract”) on the subscription. This activates the Payment Term field at the subscription level so you can override the customer default (manually or via integration mapping).

How It Works (Hierarchy)

1. Customer has a default Payment Term.
2. Subscription normally inherits the customer’s term.
3. When Generate Separate Invoice is ON for a subscription, that subscription’s invoices are created separately and can use a subscription‑specific Payment Term.

Without Separate Invoice enabled, the subscription cannot override the customer’s Payment Term.
