Terms
Create different terms of payment to be offered and used for different types of customers and services/inventory. You’ll still be able to prepare your documents and generate different reports without these terms but they will be incomplete. Avoid the hassle by setting them up early on. You can always come back anytime to update and add more information.
The setup will allow you to save your different Terms of Payment for easy and convenient use on estimates and invoices. If you have integrated Industrack with your Quickbooks account, terms from Quickbooks will sync to Industrack. Note that Terms from Quickbooks cannot be edited once synced to Industrack.
To access the Terms of Payment page, go to Settings > Company Settings > Tax & Terms > Terms.
Once Terms of Payments are created, here is an article on how to assign them to individual customers.
Using the Terms Table
Under the Terms tab, you will see a list of all previously created terms. From this page, you will also be able to view, create, edit and delete different terms of payment that you can use for marketing and sales.
On the tax page, you will see the list of tax rates that have already been created and saved. From this page, you will also be able to view, create, edit and delete Taxes.
