Invoice date and Due date are separate fields. The invoice date identifies the document's issue terms, while payment terms can calculate the due date as days after that date. Review both whenever the invoice date changes.
Choose the correct Invoice date in the draft. If a standard Payment terms selection is active, the form recalculates the due date from that choice. If you enter a due date manually, the form switches to a custom due-date selection.
Compare the dates with the agreed customer terms and the company's accounting treatment. A due date earlier than the invoice date is not an appropriate way to show an overdue obligation. Keep prior obligations in their actual document history rather than backfilling inconsistent dates.
Save the draft after reviewing the dates and reopen the current issuance controls. A changed invoice date can affect the document's period and the customer-facing PDF, so do not assume an older review or prepared output still describes the latest saved revision.
