This depends on the terms of the note and where the note is payable to.

There is one main point to take into account to know if the debt is short or long term. The length of the note.

If the note is going to be satisfied (paid off) in one year (or less) then it's classified as a short term debt.

If the note is more than one year then it's classified as long-term.

How do short term bank notes provide what amount to permanent financing at short term rates?

Amore obvious source of short-term financing is the short-term (usually 90-day) bank note. A short-term loan from a commercial bank carries an interest rate and is payable in full, principal plus interest, on the specified maturity date. Rolling over the debt consists of paying the interest and borrowing enough to repay the principal at the end of the loan period. Doing so provides, in effect, permanent financing at short-term rates (usually less than long-term rates). On the other hand, rolling over short-term debt exposes the borrower to the risk that interest rates will rise during the 90-day life of the loan. Borrowing at a new, higher rate may not seem the bargain that was anticipated at the beginning of the loan program.
