Re: Override Terms code in COM

Eric, The Mapics police are going to spank you.   
Seems to me there is a user exit that you can turn on and re-calc the due date 
using the MBF9REP terms code instead of the Customer mstr terms code. 
 
Does not solve why it allows you to override but only for printing purposes..
 
Good Luck
