Bill date and Due date serve different purposes. Enter the bill's date from the supplier document, then review the payment deadline separately. The native draft requires a due date that is not earlier than the bill date.
If payment terms populate a due date, compare the result with the actual supplier terms. A calculated date can still need correction when the agreement uses a specific deadline. Use the supported custom date control where appropriate and review the final saved value.
A due date does not prove that payment has been made or scheduled through a bank. The bills workspace uses document dates and outstanding balances for its due and overdue views, while recorded payments are separate evidence.
If the source has inconsistent dates, clarify the source rather than choosing an arbitrary date to make validation pass. Retain a note about the resolution and inspect the current period rules before issuance. After saving, verify both dates on the retained draft so a reviewer does not have to infer which deadline you intended.
