Solved: Change default due date for invoices

Suebee2 · ‎October 08, 2021

I understand how this would work when "future" terms are set, i.e., 30 days. But what about when the term is DUE UPON RECEIPT. No matter what I do, the DUE DATE is NOT the date when the invoice is made, it is ALWAYS the first day of the next month. So I have to change it every time I make an invoice. How can the DUE DATE be changed automatically to the date of the invoice?? OR remove the due date altogether (in which case the terms are shown, which is DUE UPON RECEIPT??

Hi Suebee2,

Welcome to Community! With QuickBooks Online, you can add or edit terms for your invoices. As you've mentioned, you'd like to have the due date automatically set to the day the invoice was created. I'll show you how!

To edit the existing term, follow these steps:

Go to the Gear icon in the top right

Select All Lists

Choose Terms

Hit the drop-down arrow to the right of the item and click Edit

Select Due in fixed number of days and Enter '0' in the box

That's it! The due date will now match the invoice date!
