Good day, Cesarociel.

 

Changing the net terms is easy. Just click the Terms drop-down arrow, then choose a term on the Invoice page.

 

You can also set up a default terms. Let me walk you through the steps:

  1. Click the Gear icon.
  2. Choose the Account and Settings.
  3. Go to the Sales tab.
  4. Click the Pencil icon in the Sales form content row.
  5. Click the Preferred invoice terms drop-down, then choose a term.
  6. Click Save, then Done

We use Quickbooks Desktop Enterprise. We have recently decided to change our payment terms from Net 15 to Net 30 across the board for all customers. Is there a way for me to set a default to Net 30 in QB Desktop? It will take forever to go into each customer's profile and update this information individually.

Hi there, @gina10857!

 

You can utilize the Paste from Excel function in your Customer Center so you can update their payment terms in batch.

  1. Go to Customers.
  2. Select Customer Center.
  3. Under Excel, select Paste from Excel.
  4. On the TERMS column, select Net 30.
  5. Click Save Changes.

Lastly, here's a few articles you can read for ideas in managing your customers and sales transactions: Income and Expenses.

 

If there's anything else that I can help you with, let me know in the comments down below. I'll be happy to lend a hand.

I guess I am really being dense today.  How do I get to that listing?  I've never seen it before.

Hi, dixondlow.

 

You can follow the steps mentioned by @JonpriL so you'll be able to get to the listing. Let me elaborate on the steps again.

  1. Click Customers on the upper menu.
  2. Select Customer Center.
  3. Under Excel, select Paste from Excel.
  4. On the TERMS column, select Net 30.
  5. Click Save Changes.

But first, make sure you've set up payment terms so it shows on the listing. 

 

For more information, you can refer to these articles for your guide: Reports And Accounting.
