Here you can enter your bank details or any payment terms. Please note you can only save three lines of text.
For projects with more than one currency you will need to enter your bank details per currency. When setting up your currency in Setup – > Currency you will see a new tab called Document Footer.
For payment terms – it is possible to save different payment terms per Debtor as explained in the following article.
