Use a custom invoice due date

Set a specific deadline when standard payment terms do not fit.

Updated 2026-11-11

Enter a Due date directly when the customer's agreed deadline does not match a standard payment-term choice. The draft switches the terms control to Custom due date. Check that the date is on or after the invoice date and reflects the actual agreement.

Review the rest of the document after changing the deadline, including the customer and line terms. If the invoice date also changes, confirm that the custom deadline remains intentional rather than assuming it will follow a standard interval.

Save the draft before proceeding to issuance. The saved revision is the basis for later PDF and delivery review. A due date typed into an unsaved form should not be described as the deadline on the issued invoice.

A custom due date affects document terms, not the timing of an email. Schedule once in Email invoice controls a separate one-time delivery event. Keep the customer payment deadline and the planned message time distinct so a later reviewer can understand when the obligation was due and when the reminder was actually scheduled.
