Before you create and post free text invoices with delivery dates, you must create due date limits in the Due date limits form. You must also select the Use the delivery date to calculate the payment due date check box in the Terms of payment form to check the calculated invoice due date against the effective due date limit. The invoice due date is adjusted to comply with the due date limit, if necessary. For more information, see (ESP) Set up due date limits to calculate invoice due dates and (ESP) Assign due date limits to terms of payment to calculate invoice due dates.
Invoice due dates for free text invoices are calculated in the same way as they are calculated for customer invoices, vendor invoices, and project invoices. For more information, see (ESP) About using delivery dates to calculate invoice due dates. Free text invoice transactions are included in the payment due date compliance report. For more information, see (ESP) Generate the payment due date compliance report.
