Grace Days on Payment Terms

Grace Days on Payment Terms

Finance has negotiated goodwill "grace days" with some customers: the invoice officially falls due per the agreed payment terms, but collections will not chase it until a few extra days have passed. They want receivables to reflect that reality — the customer ledger should carry the extended due date — while every document keeps showing the official one. The due date rule lives in base application code you cannot modify; extend it from the outside.

Requirements

1. Create a table extension for the Payment Terms table with a field named "Grace Days" of type Integer.
2. When a sales invoice is posted and its payment terms carry "Grace Days" greater than zero, the resulting Cust. Ledger Entry must get a "Due Date" exactly that many calendar days after the standard due date. The standard due date is what Business Central computes on its own: the document date plus the payment terms' "Due Date Calculation" — including when that calculation is empty, in which case the standard due date is the document date itself.
