What it means

The payment due date is earlier than the invoice issue date. This warning highlights a possible date error; some buyers may reject an invoice that arrives already overdue.

Typical causes

  • The due date was retained from a copied invoice.
  • Payment terms were calculated from the wrong date.

How to fix it

  1. Check the invoice date and agreed payment terms.
  2. Correct the due date or issue date if entered incorrectly.
  3. If the dates are intentional, confirm acceptance with the buyer.
What the rule says (technical)

The payment due date is earlier than the invoice issue date.

Check the due date — buyers' AP systems often reject invoices that are overdue on arrival.
