- THE SOLUTION
Beyond a standard invoice due date
When customers pay at different times, finance teams need more than a due date. AutoCount Advanced Credit Term Plugin extends existing credit terms with rules for early-payment discounts and overdue interest.
Qualifying adjustments can be evaluated during customer payment processing, with related accounting documents prepared through the linked workflow.
Manage payment policies with greater consistency
- Define discount periods and corresponding rates.
- Configure late-interest thresholds and percentages.
- Support Credit Note, A/R Debit Note or Sales Invoice adjustments.
- Keep references to adjustment documents with payments.
- THE EVERYDAY CHALLENGES
Customer Credit Management Can Become Complicated
Manual checks add work whenever payment dates, discount eligibility and overdue charges vary.
01 / CASH COLLECTION
Slow Settlements
Without an early-payment incentive, customers may have little reason to pay ahead of their due date.
02 / MANUAL WORK
Repeated Calculations
Staff manually review dates, percentages and invoice conditions for every adjustment.
03/ CONSISTENCY
Different Interpretations
Overdue interest policies may be harder to apply consistently without defined rules.
04 / DOCUMENTATION
Disconnected Records
Separate adjustments can make reconciliation and later transaction review more difficult.

Questions Before Choosing The Plugin
What is Advanced Credit Term Management Software?
It helps businesses manage additional customer settlement rules such as early-payment discounts and late-interest charges. The AutoCount plugin extends existing credit terms and connects qualifying calculations with A/R Payment processing.
Can AutoCount Calculate Early-Payment Discounts?
With the Advanced Credit Term Plugin, businesses can define payment-day discount tiers. Eligible A/R Payments are evaluated using the relevant credit-term rules.
How Are Overdue Interest Charges Handled?
Businesses can configure late-interest thresholds and percentages. Depending on configured posting options, qualifying interest adjustments can be handled through A/R Debit Notes or Sales Invoices.
Does It Automatically Send Payment Reminders?
Automated customer reminder delivery is not part of the documented core functionality. This plugin focuses on qualifying discount and interest adjustments tied to customer payments.
Does It Support Every Partial-Payment Situation?
Not necessarily. The documented eligibility logic includes the condition that an invoice must have no other payment. Complex or installment-payment scenarios should be reviewed before purchase.
Will It Work With My AutoCount Version?
The plugin extends AutoCount Accounting, but version, module and licensing requirements should be checked against your existing environment before implementation.
How Do I Find Out The Current Price?
Contact SL Software Solutions for current licensing and implementation options based on your environment and requirements.
