The payment term request is automatically approved if the company meets all the criteria for the automated payment term. The company will have direct access to the heading ‘payment’ to implement the electronic payment of the deadline.

However, if it does not meet all the criteria, the ‘payment’ will not be displayed. The company will have to validate its request for payment time by pressing the button “consignment” so that it can be reviewed by an account manager.
