Payment Due Date Options in SI+.
The Due Date on an invoice can be determined in several ways, depending on your configuration and preferences.

•Calculation:
1.Get end of the invoice month (e.g., 5 May → 31 May).
2.Add 1 day (→ 1 June).
3.Add payment terms (e.g., 14 days).
4.Resulting due date = 15 June.
