Step 2. Create Your Own Payment Terms
In Precoro, by default, there are two pre-configured types of payment:
- Prepayment is a payment you make to the supplier before shipping goods or providing any services. The supplier will only do this with pre-paid money and send an invoice for the goods.
- Post payment is a payment after which you receive the goods, and the supplier gets the payment if everything is fine with the goods.
You can easily deactivate or redact them in the Edit mode.
To deactivate payments, uncheck the Active checkbox and press the green button in the Edit option to save the changes:
In order to enter new payment terms, click on the green Add button and enter the information on the following terms:
- Prepayment % — set the prepayment percentage the supplier wants to receive in advance.
- Post payment % — set the prepayment percentage the supplier wants to receive after the supply/service provision.
- Credit Period (days) — the negotiated number of days allowed to wait before paying an invoice.
There is no restriction on the number of payment terms you can enter in Precoro.
Step 3. Set the Payment Terms Information for the Supplier
To use the payment terms in documents, you need to set them for the suppliers:

- Choose the previously created supplier for whom you wish to set the terms.
