I have several suppliers that the payment terms are end of the month following, or the 15th of the month following. Can I set up default terms based on invoice date?

Not a recurring transaction.

I am entering a bill from a supplier. Their terms on payment due on the 15th or 30th of the month following. I would like to set that up as the default term for the supplier instead of N30, etc.

Hi there rachel-beyondfoa,

In order to create a new payment term in QuickBooks Online, go to the Gear icon, then All lists. Click on payment terms, then you can add a new one from this section.

There isn't the option to set up default payment terms for a specific supplier, but you can set up a default term for all bills by going to the Gear Icon, then Account and settings. Go to the Expenses tab, then select Default bill payment terms. I can see how having the ability to add this information for each individual supplier would be a feature you'd like to see to help manage your expenses and payables. I recommend leaving feedback in the system by clicking on the Gear Icon, the Feedback. The comments in that section are taken into consideration when designing new features for QuickBooks Online.

Thanks.

My follow up question is how do I set up so the so it meets my criteria. I look at the 3 options that are given. Fixed days doesn't work because that's net 30, 45, etc. Due certain day of month is the current month, not month following. And Due next month doesn't work for me as far as I can tell as my scenario is as follows.

In month one, I receive multiple bills from a supplier, they are all due on the 15th or the 30th in month two.
