A company uses Dynamics 365 Business Central.

In Dynamics 365 Business Central, the Due Date Calculation field in payment terms defines how the due date is calculated from the posting date or document date. The syntax uses a formula similar to date formulas elsewhere in Business Central.

D10 → 10 days from today

The D stands for “days.”

D10 means add 10 days to the document date/posting date.

10D → The next 10th day of the next month

Writing the day number before the “D” means the due date is set to that specific day of the following month.

Example: If the invoice date is January 25, the due date becomes February 10.

1M+10D → One month + 10 days

1M adds one month.

+10D adds ten more days.

Example: Invoice on Jan 15 → Feb 15 + 10 days → Feb 25.

This mapping ensures proper setup of payment terms for various business scenarios.
