How to Add Net Payment Terms - Payments

Payment terms define how long you have to pay each supplier. They can also include early payment discounts. Net terms are optional but recommended for optimizing cash flow.

How to Configure Payment Terms in Ply

Payment terms are whatever you've agreed to with each supplier. In Ply, you can set them up once per supplier so they auto-populate on POs.


Step 1: Create a Payment Term

  1. Go to Settings > Company Billing > Payments > Net Terms

  2. Click Create Net Term


  3. Enter:

    • Name (whatever your supplier calls it: "Net 30", "Net 10 2/5", etc.)

    • Days until due (e.g., 30, 45, 60)

    • Early payment discount (if applicable: e.g., "2% off if paid in 5 days")

  4. Click Save

That's it. You're done.

Step 2: Assign to a Supplier

  1. Go to Suppliers > select your supplier

  2. Click Payment Information tab

  3. Click Change Term

  4. Pick the term you just created

  5. Click Save


Now when you create a PO for that supplier, this term auto-fills.

Step 3: Override on a Specific PO (Optional)

If a specific order has different terms:

  1. Create the PO normally

  2. In the Payment Terms field, select a different term

  3. Done


That's It

You've got payment terms set up. When you make a payment, Ply shows:

  • When it's due

  • If there's an early pay discount, how much you save and when you need to pay to get it

If you change a supplier's terms later, just go back and update it. All new POs will use the new term.
