For Polish KSeF FA(3) transactions, following Payment Terms scenarios can be used.

  • Payment Terms group with free-text and Installment Due Date.
    Providing an invoice due date is mandatory.
    It can be specified either through the Installment Due Date or directly at the Document Level using the Invoice Due Date /ubl:Invoice/cbc:DueDate.
    It is recommened to use the Invoice Due Date.
    In this case the free-text element is mapped to the FA(3) element TerminOpis, which should contain a description of the payment deadline.

Example: General Payment Terms with Installment Due Date 

<ubl:Invoice>

    <cac:PaymentTerms>
        <cbc:Note>Until 09.02.2026 without discount</cbc:Note>
        <cbc:InstallmentDueDate>2026-02-09</cbc:InstallmentDueDate>
    </cac:PaymentTerms>
    <!-- Code omitted for clarity -->
</ubl:Invoice>
  • Payment Terms group providing payment discount information
    In this case a free-text and the discount percent is provided.
