Work isn’t always billed the day it’s finished. Set the issue date on any invoice yourself, including an earlier date when you’re invoicing after the fact, and Sendinvo keeps that date when you send. The due date follows your payment terms, so a late-written invoice still reads right.
Your first 3 invoices are free to send, no card needed.
On any invoice, the issue date sits with the rest of the details, set to today by default.
Pick the date the invoice should carry. Choose today, an earlier date to backdate it, or a date ahead for work you’re billing in advance.
Sendinvo works out the due date from that issue date and your payment terms, so it always lines up.
The date you set is the date on the sent invoice, the email, and the PDF, exactly as you entered it.
Most invoices are dated the day you write them, and that’s the default here too. But billing often runs behind the work, so you can set the issue date yourself, including an earlier date, and the invoice keeps it.
Invoicing a job you finished last week, or catching up on a month of admin in one sitting? Set the issue date back to the date the invoice should carry, and Sendinvo keeps it all the way through: on the invoice, in the email, and on the PDF. For invoices you raise on a repeating cadence, recurring invoices can generate them for you instead.
Change the issue date and the due date recalculates from your payment terms, so a backdated invoice shows the right due date with no maths from you. Set 14-day terms and backdate by a week, and the invoice is already halfway to due.
Invoicing in advance is ordinary: write the invoice today, date it the 1st, and have it arrive on the 1st. While an invoice is dated ahead, Send waits, because an invoice shouldn’t reach your client carrying a date it hasn’t reached. Instead you schedule it to send, and the picker won’t offer a day before the issue date.
A UK VAT invoice has to show a tax point, and the issue date only counts as one when the invoice goes out within 14 days of the work. Tick “Include supply date” and state when the work happened: a single date, or a period if it ran over one. It appears on the document, the PDF, and the page your client opens, which is what makes a late-sent invoice correct.
Setting the date is an invoice feature. A credit note is dated the day you create it. A quote is re-dated when you send it, so its validity window starts when the client actually receives it.
Yes. Set the issue date on any invoice to an earlier date to backdate it, and Sendinvo keeps that date when you send. You can date an invoice in the past, today, or ahead.
Yes. The due date follows the issue date automatically, based on your payment terms, so when you backdate the issue date the due date moves with it. Change your terms and the due date recalculates.
Yes. Write it today and date it the 1st. While the date is still ahead, Send waits and Sendinvo points you to scheduled send, which won’t offer a day before the issue date, so the invoice never reaches your client carrying a date it hasn’t reached.
No. Setting the date is an invoice feature. A credit note is dated the day you create it. A quote is re-dated when you send it, so its validity window starts when the client actually receives it.
