Where does the AP Aging Detail Report Pull the Terms From?
The AP Aging Detail report pull the terms from the Payment Terms.  These terms are recorded when the Supplier information is setup.  Then if a supplier changes the terms for future invoices, the terms on the existing invoices will not change.   For example:  If user creates an Invoice and the existing terms are 2-10, net 30 and after the invoice has been created, but before the invoice has been paid the supplier's terms change to COD, the original invoice that was created with the terms of 2-10, net 30 will not change,  so the user can still get the 2% discount if they pay that invoice within 30 days.

The system allows the supplier to change the terms in the Purchase Setup module.  The purpose of that is to give them the flexibility to setup whatever they want to with customers and suppliers per invoice.  But the AP Aging Report needs to have one term to determine the Aging colmuns.  If we had each invoice list its own terms on the report and attempt to calculate the aging based on each invoice it would cause additional problems within the reporting,etc. .
