Invoices: Customise items in 'Due date' dropdown list

Currently, when creating an invoice, the payment terms dropdown gives you the following options:
- Today
- 7 days
- 14 days
- EOM +1
- EOM +20
- end of next month
I would like to customise this list; the Australian government has recently brought in payment standards of 5 days if sent by e-invoice and 20 days if not, for all invoices sent to all non-corporate Commonwealth entities (including Defence) and neither of those are amongst the standard options. This means that I have to manually change the due date based on the contract for every invoice sent, since different contracts for the same government department can be required to be sent by e-invoice or not, based on whether they existed prior to the current policy or not https://www.finance.gov.au/publications/resource-management-guides/supplier-pay-time-or-pay-interest-policy-rmg-417

I'd really like to adjust the dropdown to remove the options I never ever use and include the ones I use frequently.

    I would like to have the ability to have a few spares that individuals can choose what they are in addition to the standard

    30 days seems an obvious industry standard that is not included.

  • Matt Lister commented  ·   ·  Report

    In Xero invoicing when you select due date you are given a dropdown with some quick add buttons.
    I think 30 days is the most common invoicing term, but it is missing, so you have to compute and enter the date manually.
    Please add "In 30 days" under 14 days.
    I'm suprised it is missing, as I think 30 is much more common than 7 or 14.

    This is again an expected basic function of a financial system which is not included in Xero, a functionality my clients and my practice require.

    I have some Suppliers who are on 60 DAYS for their account, Xero only says 1-31, can this be changed only each invoice I have to set as 60 days, Thanks

    I would like to see the ability to have different "Due Date" capability on invoice templates to clients.

    Background: we have our "standard" [customised] invoice which is payment on 20th day of the month following the date of the invoice.

    We also have a customised invoice for other products e.g. software licences which we need to have a "Due Date" of payable within seven (7) days of invoice date. We currently change this manually but often this manual change is overlooked so we have conflicting date payable statements.

    There currently seems to be one default setting for invoice payable by... and it would be helpful to have more than one option depending on the invoice template being used.
