PaymentTerm
IMPORTANT The SOAP API entered a limited enhancement phase in Q4 2020. Access to version 1.6 will eventually be deactivated. At this time, there is no end-of-lifecycle date.
This entity describes an Autotask Payment Term. A payment term specifies the conditions and requirements for payment due on an Autotask invoice; for example, Net 30 days.
In Autotask, payment terms are set up in the Admin module and added to a Quote or invoice template.
