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

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...

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

Thanks Mate,

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?

With this term, the due date is always set to the last day of the month.

Did you provide a date?

"Terms": {
"PaymentIsDue": "OnADayOfTheMonth",
"DueDate": "2024-10-15T00:00:00"
},

  Yes mate,
  
  The due date is the 02nd of August. but it still picks the last day of the month of the invoice date. it does not use the due date. Refer to the below screenshot.
  
  "Terms": {
  "PaymentIsDue": "OnADayOfTheMonth",
  "DueDate": "2024-08-02T00:00:00"
  },

    Hi Sidath , you need to provide the balanceduedays for that payment term, eg 20, then the due date will be calculated.
    See https://developer.myob.com/api/myob-business-api/v2/sale/invoice/invoice_item/ for more details. Each line has subtext which can be seen by clicking the label. Payment terms will be the same for service invoices.
