Automatic invoice due dates

Hello, Davepearson, When you create the invoice in the Self Employed product it will have set dates. If you are adding more items as you do the work are you then saving as a draft each time? If so when you have finished everything you need you can go into edit on the drop-down by that invoice and then change the dates that it is due before you send it or if you know the date you can change it when you create the invoice as long as you save as draft it will store the dates you say.

Yes, I am saving it as a draft each evening. If I don't then that day's work and expenses are not saved. So am I to understand that manually changing the due date before I send the invoice is the only solution? If so then please suggest to the software development team that adding an option to automatically set the due date based on the send date would be useful.

Hi Dan, thanks for joining this thread - there is currently no option to edit the invoice terms default in QuickBooks Self-Employed, we have submitted further feedback for this request. :folded_hands:

Why isn't this an option? I can guarantee there's several self employed folks who would appreciate not getting suckered into net 30 days automatically.

We're taking notes of your feedback and suggestion, @frankphotog.

I can see that the option to change the default term of the invoice in QuickBooks Self-Employed is helpful to you and your business. This way, you don't need to modify the due date every time you'll create an invoice.

As of now, I encourage submitting feedback directly to our product engineers. They may look into this suggestion and consider adding the option in the future update. To send feedback, please follow the step below:

1. Sign in to your QuickBooks Self-Employed account.
2. Click the Gear icon, then select Intuit Account.
3. On the Intuit Account Manage page, click Feedback.
4. Enter your product suggestion and submit it.

I'm right there.  Invoice due date should be based on date invoice is sent, not on the date it was created.  That seems fairly obvious.  However, we need the ability to have payment due upon receipt.  Small self employed and sole proprietor businesses need cashflow.  Not even sure why this is a topic that needs to be discussed.
