Check the source of the due date.

A due date should follow the agreed terms rather than the default in an old template.

01

Start with the evidence

Locate the accepted payment terms and the event they refer to. A date based on receipt of a document may differ from a date based on its issue, so keep the underlying wording available.

02

Work through the example

For this example the parties explicitly agreed 20 October. The review is a direct match between that agreement and the draft, not an assumption about a universal number of days after issue.

03

Make the next step clear

If two sources conflict, flag the conflict before sending. Record the confirmed date and the evidence used. Avoid creating new late-payment charges or enforcement wording while merely correcting a draft invoice field.

04

Keep the source context

Treat an invoice draft as a description of an agreed business event. Keep the source agreement nearby and distinguish document preparation from approval, sending and receiving payment. These are separate steps even when they happen close together.
