Question About Payment Terms / Payment Terms Template

I am trying to create Payment Terms and/or a Payment Terms Template that automatically calculates the correct payments on a Sales Order.

Say I have a Sales Order with a Grand Total of $500. My payment schedule is DP + 4, so something like this:

Down payment (advanced payment?): $100 ← This is an arbitrary amount
Payment 1: $100 (25% of the remainder)
Payment 2: $100 (25% of the remainder)
Payment 3: $100 (25% of the remainder)
Payment 4: $100 (25% of the remainder)

In this case, each payment is 20%. However, the payment schedule could just as easily have been the following:

Down payment (advanced payment?): $400 ← This is an arbitrary amount
Payment 1: $25(25% of the remainder)
Payment 2: $25(25% of the remainder)
Payment 3: $25(25% of the remainder)
Payment 4: $25(25% of the remainder)

How do I implement this functionality with Payment Terms and/or the Payment Terms Template I’d like to avoid calculating the payment term percentages and amounts by hand.

Still looking for help!

Current payment terms template doesn’t have this functionality. Either you will have to manually populate the payment terms table each time or write a custom script to do it for you.

That’s the conclusion I was coming to. Thanks anyway!
