D/A – (Documents against Acceptance)
The export documents and a time/usance bill of exchange are sent to a remitting bank. The documents are then sent to a collecting bank with instructions to release the documents against a buyer's acceptance of the bill of exchange
CAD (Cash Against Documents)

The are different in the sense that payment terms documents could be a long term agreements or contracts whiles cash against documents through bank is more of liquidity in nature.
