Hide overdue warning on invoices "due on receipt"

Hi all,

Just a quick one. I often send out initial invoices that are ‘due on receipt’ for new clients. Is there an option to apply this status to an invoice anywhere? So far the only way I have seen to do it is, mark the due date the same as the sent date, however when a client opens the invoice he/she gets a nasty bright red ‘OVERDUE’ banner across the top corner and it doesn’t seem like an overly friendly introduction to our company.

Thanks in advance for any input,

Kai

I guess what we could do is hide that banner on day 1 when the issue date and due dates are the same?

You could hide it altogether using some CSS (which I can setup for you) if you have no use whatsoever for this banner?

I’d be interested in a solution to this as well as I have had to set my default terms to 7 days so that the client can pay and I can tag it before it gets a huge red overdue stamp even though my terms are payment due immediately.

I guess hiding the overdue banner altogether would work in my case as I have reminder emails turned on but maybe hiding it until the first reminder email is sent regardless of due date would be an ideal solution.

Thanks for the reply Glenn, That would be an option I guess… when I resided on ‘the dark side’ of FreeAgent (sorry for the foul language) there was the option of adding your own custom terms as with QF but also a ‘Payment On Receipt’ too.

Not sure how feasible that would be, maybe that along with the option to switch the flags on/off would be good?

We’re adding a stamp “DUE ON RECEIPT”. This will automatically appear for invoices that have a payment term of zero days, rather than instantly showing as OVERDUE.

This should go live in the next few days.

The Overdue diagonal banner in the top right will still appear but only after 1 day if payment is not received.

Hope that helps!

EDIT:

This has now been implemented. Any sales invoice with a zero day payment term will be marked as “DUE ON RECEIPT”.
