I really don't understand the business case and the business goal.
Normally a payment term is a rule the company create to give deadline to
customer to pay invoices. I understand a company create some rules to give
more time to good custmers etc.
But I don't see the goals of creating a rule for each customers, it gives more
work to the company (keep up to date all the rules, negotiate each rule with
customer).

Perhaps you misunderstood the payment term and you think the goal is to
predict the future payment of the customers?
