Specifies a code for the finance charge terms.

The program will link this code to information about the finance charge calculation. Then you can enter the code in the Fin. Charge Terms Code field on customer cards. After this, when you calculate finance charges on overdue amounts, the program will use the finance charge information represented by the code. You can also register finance charge terms codes on vendor cards.

You can enter a maximum of 10 characters, both numbers and letters. Use codes that are easy to remember and describe the type of customer or the type of finance charge. For example:

Danish, German, English, Retail, Wholesale, 9%, 11%

The code must be unique - you cannot have the same code twice in one table. You can set up as many codes as you like.

For each finance charge terms code, you can also define an additional fee in foreign currency for each currency that you do business in. To do so, click Related Information, point to Terms, and then click Currencies in the Finance Charge Terms window, and fill in the information in the Currency for Fin. Charge Terms table.
