- A
Set the payment proposal date criterion to 'Due date' and set the offset to 30. Configure payment terms with a 2% discount.
Why wrong: An offset of 30 would include invoices due up to 30 days after the payment date, which is not desired.
- B
Set the payment proposal date criterion to 'Payment date' and set the offset to 10. Configure payment terms with a 2% discount if paid within 10 days.
Why wrong: 'Payment date' criterion uses invoice date, not due date, so it would include invoices not yet due.
- C
Set the payment proposal date criterion to 'Due date' and set the offset to 0. Configure payment terms with a 2% discount if paid within 10 days.
This ensures only due invoices are included and cash discount is calculated correctly.
- D
Set the payment proposal date criterion to 'Discount date' to include invoices where the discount date has passed. Configure payment terms with a 2% discount.
Why wrong: 'Discount date' is not a standard criterion; the system uses payment terms to calculate discounts.
Quick Answer
The correct answer is to set the payment proposal date criterion to 'Due date' with an offset of 0 and configure payment terms offering a 2% discount if paid within 10 days. This configuration ensures that only invoices due on or before the payment date are included in the proposal, directly addressing the requirement to pay only due invoices. The 'Due date' criterion filters invoices based on their actual due dates, while the offset of 0 prevents any future invoices from being pulled in. For the cash discount, the payment terms must explicitly define the 2% discount percentage and the 10-day discount period, which the system uses to calculate early payment savings automatically. On the MB-920 exam, this tests your understanding of payment proposal date criteria and cash discount setup, a common trap being confusing 'Payment date' criterion (which uses invoice date) with 'Due date' criterion. Remember the memory tip: "Due date, zero offset—only pay what's due, no future debt."

The company wants to pay invoices only on their due dates. You review the payment proposal setup and find that the payment proposal uses the default settings. You need to configure the payment proposal to include only invoices that are due on or before the payment date. Additionally, the company wants to apply a discount if payment is made within 10 days of the invoice date (a 2% cash discount). The payment terms must be set up accordingly. You need to ensure that the payment proposal correctly calculates cash discounts for early payment. What should you do?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
Set the payment proposal date criterion to 'Due date' and set the offset to 0. Configure payment terms with a 2% discount if paid within 10 days.
Option A is correct. By setting the 'Date criterion' to 'Due date' with a 'Payment date' offset of 0, only invoices with due dates on or before the payment date are included. To correctly calculate cash discounts, the payment terms must be set up with the discount percentage and the number of days. Option B is wrong because 'Payment date' criterion uses the invoice date, not due date. Option C is wrong because 'Discount date' criterion is not standard; the system uses payment terms. Option D is wrong because setting offset would include future invoices.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
