The following tutorial guides you through the steps necessary to set default payment days per client in your Buildxact account. This means you can customize the payment terms for each client individually, rather than applying the same terms for all clients throughout your account.
Where to set the default due days by client
To begin, navigate to the "Clients" section in your account. Locate and open the profile of the client you wish to update. Edit the payment terms in the designated payment terms field within the client profile. These updates will apply to all new jobs created for the client.
New versus existing jobs
It's important to note that changing the default payment terms for a client will not automatically update the due dates for existing jobs associated with that client. If you need to modify payment terms for an individual job, navigate to the Outgoing Invoices tab within the job, click the settings (cog) icon, and select Manage Payment Terms to make changes.
New jobs created for the client after modifying the default payment terms will reflect the updated settings.
Best Practice
To avoid complications, we recommend you update the client's payment terms before creating a job, if possible. By doing so, you ensure that all future jobs for that client will have the correct default payment terms.
