I would set up a new terms code however  – our description is “50% Deposit, Balance Net 30â€Â and treat it as 30 day terms.
We also have 25 and 40% terms. You can base your BPM on these  your new terms code.

Subject: [Vantage] Funky AR Terms
My CFO wants me to create AR terms to require a 50% prepayment, with the remaining 50% on Net 30.
I've looked through the Terms program and Customer maintenance, but can't find a way that seems to work properly.
All I can think of is:
1. Set the customer up as Net 30;
2. Have a BPM notify our AR department to generate a Deposit Invoice when an order is received
3. Train them to change the terms on those Deposit Invoices to Cash In Advance
It seems a clunky solution... other suggestions?
