How to add the due date when posting an MYOB invoice from the API

Question

We post sales invoices from third-party software to MYOB AccountRight. We can post invoices to MYOB but can't set the Invoice Due Date. Without Due Date, it works well and AccountRight Invoice is set as "Cash on delivery". What we need is to put it as "Due on this day" with the due date we sent.

"Terms": {
"PaymentIsDue": "Dueonthisday",
"DueDate": "2024-07-26T00:00:00"
},

Invoice Terms have been sent as above (Full JSON file is attached here). But I get the validation valid error: "Unexpected value for 'Terms.PaymentIsDue': Cannot convert 'Dueonthisday' to a valid value."

Does anyone know how to post the due date?

Sidath you may need to use the predefined terms.

Default Terms of Payment definitions:
CashOnDelivery
PrePaid
InAGivenNumberOfDays
OnADayOfTheMonth
NumberOfDaysAfterEOM
DayOfMonthAfterEOM

Hi Jeremy,&nbsp;Thanks for your reply.&nbsp;&nbsp;Yes, that's what I'm trying to do.&nbsp;Refer to the below screenshot. These are the predefined terms available on our company file. So I tried to send "Due on this day" with the due date (see the JSON file). But it didn't work. It sent a validation fail message.&nbsp;&nbsp;I have tried all these predefined terms but none of them worked.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Mate you'll have to use the exact term with capitalisation as described in the API documentation. Try OnADayOfTheMonth with the date you want&nbsp;

Thanks Mate,&nbsp;It is case-sensitive. Now I managed to post it with OnADayOfTheMonth. What I want is to set the due date that I provided. So which predefined term can be used to set the Due Date?&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;With this term, the due date is always set to the last day of the month.&nbsp;

Did you provide a date?&nbsp;"Terms": {&nbsp; &nbsp; "PaymentIsDue": "OnADayOfTheMonth",&nbsp; &nbsp; "DueDate": "2024-10-15T00:00:00"&nbsp; }, &nbsp;
