If using the Business Features and raising Bills for that Vendor, then
set up terms either in the Vendor, or per Bill. (there is a separate
Terms editor)
When you first create the Bill, if that Vendor has set terms, that will
be populated by default, otherwise you can set it in that initial dialog.
Upon posting a Bill, when you enter the posting date, GnuCash will
automatically calculate the Due Date. (which will be greyed out and
cannot be edited)
-----
If not using Bills for this, create a Scheduled Transaction (SX) with
the proper timing and a generic template transaction.
For amounts, use a term as a variable.
It would be a good idea to use the options to Remind in Advance, Review
before Creation. I wouldn't use auto-creation for this one.
When the SX fires as it is due, you'll see a prompt for your variable,
which would be the amount owed. On the Since Last Run dialog, be sure to
check the box to Review if it isn't checked. When you commit the
transactions there, it will show a register view of any and all SXs that
were just created. You can then adjust any as needed, such as this one,
with specific notes, or line-item detail.

Personally, I'd take the Bill route here, but both can work.

My account with one company has terms of “ 20 Days from end of month”. I
receive a statement on the 1st or 2nd of each month, dated the last day of
the previous month, detailing what was ordered in the previous month. It
says payment is due by the 20th of the month.
Is there any way I can set up GnuCash to sort out when payment is due?
