You have to make sure your payment terms are configured correctly so that your invoice date matches the bill, ymoree.
In QuickBooks Online (QBO), the difference between the invoice date that you've created and the bill received by your client is due to the payment terms outlined in your invoice. To align your invoice date with the date on the bill received by your client, we need to modify your payment terms.
You can follow the steps below:
- Go to Sales and select Invoices.
- Find the invoice that you want to modify, then select View/Edit Invoice.
- Take note of the term used located on the upper left side of your invoice, then close the invoice.
- Go to Settings, then select All lists.
- Select Terms.
- Find the term used on your invoice.
- In the Action column, select Edit from the dropdown.
- Make sure the Due in fixed number of days is set to 0.
- Select Save.
Once done, you can then reselect the term on the invoice for the adjustments to take effect. However, if the issue persists, look for a similar term with a different name in the Terms list and make the necessary edits.
