  • If you would like the Invoice to be due on a certain date in the next month, you would need to tick the first EOM tick box and enter the number of days in the Days field E.g enter 20 days for invoices to be due on the 20th day of the following month.

N.B. both the Days fields will be populated with the same value, please make sure neither of these are removed.
