For payables, what does the due date mean?

Updated over 2 months ago

What is the Due Date?

In Breeze, every payable invoice has a Due Date.

When you run Make Payments, you can filter payables by Due Date, to make sure you are paying bills on time.

For example, you are paying bills on 06/09/2020. You want to make sure that you pay the bills that are coming due in the near future, so you use the Due Date filter, and you set the "To" date a week out from today.

Where does the Due Date come from?

When you are creating a payable, the Due Date field is completed automatically when you select a vendor. By default, the due date comes from the Payment Terms section of the Vendor screen.

If there is a vendor discount, then Due Date = Invoice Date + Discount Days.

If there is no vendor discount, then Due Date = Invoice Date + Payment Terms.

If both fields are blank, then Due Date = Invoice Date.

To change the Due Date

When you are creating a payable, the system completes the Due Date field automatically, but you can edit the field manually. In this way, you can make sure that the due date is always appropriate.
