What do you get out of it?

Every credit sale has a date attached and a status that changes when it passes. You stop finding out that something is late because the customer mentions it.

How does it work?

  1. 1

    A due date on the invoice

    The bill carries the date payment is expected, printed on the document so the customer sees the same deadline you do.

  2. 2

    Status moves when the date passes

    An unpaid bill past its due date becomes overdue, so the distinction between waiting and late is made by the system rather than by your memory.

  3. 3

    Payments clear it

    Recording settlement moves the invoice out of overdue, and part payments leave it carrying only the remaining balance.

  4. 4

    Reads alongside the customer's balance

    Because balances roll up per customer, an overdue bill sits in the context of everything else that customer owes.

What situations does it handle?

Terms that vary by customer

Set the due date per invoice, so a thirty-day B2B buyer and a walk-in credit sale can be treated differently.

A bill paid early

Record the payment and it never becomes overdue. The status follows the money, not the calendar alone.

An agreed extension

Adjust the due date and note why, so the record matches what you actually agreed.

How do you get more out of it?

  • Set a real due date rather than accepting a default — a date you chose is one you will act on.
  • Print it on the bill. A deadline the customer has seen is easier to enforce than one only you know about.
  • Review overdue weekly, not monthly. Two weeks late is a conversation; three months late is a write-off risk.

Common questions

How do I know when an invoice is overdue?

Each invoice carries a due date, and an unpaid bill past that date moves to overdue automatically — so late payments surface without you tracking dates yourself.

Can I set different payment terms per customer?

Yes. The due date is set on the invoice, so a thirty-day trade buyer and a short-term credit sale can carry different deadlines.

Does the due date appear on the invoice the customer gets?

Yes. It prints on the document, so the customer sees the same deadline you are tracking.
