(Just a copy & paste:)

Before applying that patch, you should take a look at this module: 
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~openerp-spain-team/openerp-spain/5.0/files/head%3A/extra_addons/paydays/ 
<http://bazaar.launchpad.net/%7Eopenerp-spain-team/openerp-spain/5.0/files/head%3A/extra_addons/paydays/>

That module was developed to solve just this kind of 'unfriendly' behaviour.

Currently OpenERP calculates the next_date from the end of the current 
month begining of the next month:

   * If we use "-5" it means "five days before the end of the current
     month",
   * If we use "+5" it means "the fifth day of the next month";
   * _There is no way to say "the fifth day of __*this* month"._

That module (from the Spanish localization) extends the payment terms 
configuration to allow to select more than one payment date. So you may 
say for example that a partner has as payment days the 10th and the 20th 
of each month with just setting the 'payment days' to "15,20"; also, it 
solves my previous "the fifth day of this month" example by just setting 
the 'payment days' to "5".

Maybe the features of this module should be merged into the standard 
payment term object, or at least the module might be ported to 
extra-addons or addons (it's currently hosted on the openerp-spain branch).

P.D.: Jay be aware that your patch might break things for a lot of 
people that already configured their payment terms the old way.
