Set up your business transaction terms (payment due dates) to match those in your accounting package. Transaction terms can be applied to Clients, Suppliers, and Contractors, and autopopulate the Due Date displayed on invoices (for Clients), and for Purchase Orders and Bills (for Suppliers).

Invoices

 

 

Purchase Orders and Bills

 

 

A range of default transaction terms are included with AroFlo but more can be set up in Site Administration.

Add a transaction term

1. In Site Administration > Settings, go to:
   - Clients > Transaction Terms, to set transaction terms for your clients, or
   - Suppliers & Contractors > Transaction Terms, to set transaction terms for your suppliers or contractors.
   

   The Transaction Terms list is the same across clients, suppliers, and contractors.

    
2. Click Add Transaction Term.
3. Enter the transaction term label.
4. Enter the number of days.
   

   For example: Entering ‘30’ will set all invoices / quote dates to be auto-calculated date of 30 days from date of invoice/quote.

   Auto-calculation will also cross months, with the correct date.

    
5. Select the relevant terms from the dropdown list.
   
6. Tick 'Show Banner' if you want the transaction terms to display in certain areas of AroFlo and select a Banner Colour using the color picker.
7. Save.

Where does the colored banner show?

Do Not Trade
By default, if you set a client to 'Do Not Trade', you will see:

• 'Do Not Trade' at the end of the client name when searching your client list (e.g. when creating a quote or task)
• a pop-up warning message, if you try to create a quote or task against that client
• a 'Do Not Trade' banner, when you open the client card.

This is irrespective of the trading terms label/name.
