Vendor discounts, if applicable have similar options.
Of the 5, the most commonly used are Days from Invoice Date where you would specify the number of days after the invoice date when payment would be due.
For example:

Here, 100% of the payment is due 30 days from invoice date, but if payment is made within 10 days, you would be entitled to a 2% discount.
If no discount is applicable, enter zero in the Discount Percent column as well as No of Days column.
Multiple Payment Schedule

Multiple payment schedule is useful when payments to a vendor are staggered over a period of time.
In the above, the first payment, 60% of the invoice, is due 30 days from date of invoice. The balance of 40% is due 60 days from the date of invoice.
