<Raising flame shields>
Most legacy systems can't or don't allow override of terms at order
creation time. They tend to use the terms information that is stored in
the customer or ship-to files. As such, any terms information that you
send is printed as an exception report, or, at best case, ignored. Most
trading parties usually agree on terms, shipping methods and the like up
front or outside of the course of trading documents. If they do, then a
"terms override" is an exercise in either futility or a credit memo
waiting to happen.
