Using QB Accountant Desktop 2015. I have customers set up with net 30 terms, yet invoices produced  the due date = to the sales date. It does not automatically calculate the due date out 30 days. I have to manually change the terms to another term in the dropdown and then re-select 30 days in order for it to set the correct due date. Terms list has net 30 set correctly.

Thanks in advance for your help.

"Invoices are imported,"

The Imported data is self-contained, so the Due Date is supposed to be provided in that data stream, already. You don't really need Terms, at that point. You need Due Date.

Imported transactions do not use the Customer Info at all. They are not a Relational transaction. Your Update is what Forces them to Update, relationally.

That's why this piece of info mattered. Thanks.

If I may, I would like to ask a question here: We create invoices everyday, they are not imported. Each customer has terms listed in their profile. However, in my Open Invoices report, many of our customers still have due dates that are the same as the invoice date. About half are calculated correctly. What am I doing wrong and how can I fix it?  I'm using QB Desktop 2016.

 

Thank you!!

Are the terms added to the invoices?  Is the terms record set up properly to reflect what it's name suggests?

Yes, terms and due date are added to the invoice and terms record is set up properly.

How do you create these invoices? Duplicate/Copy? Manually? Memorized? Imported?

"I have to manually change the terms to another term in the dropdown and then re-select 30 days in order for it to set the correct due date."

That would be a typical behavior from Imported and from Duplicated invoices. That's why I asked the question, How do you create invoices in QB?

Thanks for your reply. Invoices are imported, so from the sound of things, I'm stuck manually adjusting every invoice due date.ugh...

Thanks for your reply. Invoices are imported. From other comments, it appears I have to manually adjust the due date on all these invoices.
