Hi pareshmotiwala,


We’re glad you’ve participated in this thread. I’m here to make sure the Due upon Receipt feature works for you.


How did you enter the invoices in your QuickBooks Online account? If they are manually entered to the program, the Invoice Date must match to the Due Date once you use the term Due on Receipt.


You can also opt to make it your default preferred invoice term so it’ll automatically populate when creating this type of transaction. @Anonymous provided a great answer above with the steps in doing this.


Since this option didn’t work for you, let’s do some troubleshooting to resolve it. The awesome support guy whom @lmareth had spoken to have given steps to rectify the issue. Allow me to re-enter them for you and add up some resolutions.


You’ll have to first check and edit the Due on receipt term settings. Here’s how:

  1. Go to the Gear icon at the top. Under Lists, select All Lists.
  2. Choose Terms.
  3. Find the term used on your invoice (most of the time it has Due on Receipt name). Under the Action column, select Edit from the drop-down.
  4. Make sure Due in fixed number of days is selected and the number of days is set to 0.
  5. Click Save.

If you’ve already created the invoices, open each of them and toggle the term used. To do so:

  1. Open the affected invoices one-at-a-time.
  2. In the Terms field, select a different term.
  3. Save the invoice.
  4. Re-open it, then choose Due on Receipt.
  5. Verify that both Invoice and Due date fields have the same dates.
  6. Click Save.

In case you’re still getting the same issue, try creating a new Due on Receipt term with a slightly different name. Check out these steps for your reference:

  1. Go to the Gear icon, select All Lists.
  2. Choose Terms, then click New.
  3. In the New Term window, enter a name you want to use.
  4. Pick the Due in fixed number of days radio button, then enter 0 in the days box.
  5. Click Save.

Once done, go back to those invoices and use your newly created term. For more details, you can refer to this article:


Due date and invoice date do not match when using Due on receipt term


You should now be able to see this feature working on your end.


Feel free to post a response below on how these solutions work for you. I’ll be around. Have a great weekend!
