Pay terms

I have vendors that I pay by monthly statement. I pay them usually by the 10th of the next month for all invoices dated the previous month. I have tried and tried to understand how to create this payment term so that it enters the correct due dates on invoices entered but have failed. I have tried to find any article I can understand to create this with the new terms pop up box. I have failed. Can someone please just show the dialog box and what I enter to get these terms.

 

i.e. An invoice dated 3/1/23 would be due 4/10/23, an invoice dated 3/15/23 would also be due 4/10/23. Any invoice dated in March would be due April 10th. 

 

I know it is date driven but after trial and error and filling in what I thought was correct, the terms still do not work that way. 

 

Thank you!

Hello there, @Susan1216.

 

Currently, the option to enable the product to assign terms or due dates for transactions created on a particular month is unavailable. I understand how this feature can be beneficial to your business. As of now, you can only manually add the terms for these transactions.

 

We want to comprehend your preferences for the application. Thus, extend this concern to our product development team by sending feedback directly to them. I recommend you send feedback directly to our product engineers. This way, we can comprehend what our customer demands for the application.

 

Here’s how:

 

  1. At the top, select the Help menu.
  2. Choose to Send Feedback Online then click Product Suggestion.
  3. Type in your feedback or feature request.
  4. Click the Send Feedback button.

 

Additionally, you can check out this article to learn more about managing your payment terms. Once your clients decide to pay, you can also record their payment with the help of this article.

 

If you have further queries about QuickBooks, let me know in the comments below. I'll be here immediately to assist you. Have a good one!

These terms are NOT for customers. These are for accounts payable. Paying by monthly statement is a very common term in accounting. I will make the suggestion but it makes me think there has to be a way to set this up simply because it is so common. Are you sure there is not a NEW term that can be created to do this?
