Due date
Definition
The due date is the day by which an invoice must be paid. It is set from the invoice date and the payment terms, such as 14 or 30 days. The due date decides when a receivable becomes overdue.
Example. An invoice dated 1 October with 30-day terms has a due date of 31 October.
Why it matters for your company
The due date decides when an invoice becomes overdue and which payments you chase. A clear date on every invoice gets you paid sooner.
