Payment terms in a native invoice specify days after the invoice date. Choose the offered term that matches the customer agreement, then inspect the resulting Due date. The calculated date should be reviewed as part of the document's terms before issuance.
If you later change Invoice date, review the due date again because the selected term can recalculate it. This is useful when a draft's preparation date differs from the date the invoice should carry, but the final terms still need to match the agreed obligation.
For an exceptional deadline, use Custom due date and enter the intended date directly. Do not choose a standard term merely because it produces a convenient date without checking the agreement.
Payment terms do not collect money, schedule a bank transfer or prove that a customer accepted the invoice. Sending and payment matching use separate workflows. Retain the agreed terms in the appropriate supporting records and verify the current PDF before delivering the issued document to the customer.
