Would like to have the option to set up individual payment terms in the customer/supplier's card file.

Please move this minor fix to the top of the list. It's a very minor change to the software that solves a huge pain point.
We've found a quick workaround in the meantime:
- Create bill from Invoice in the In Tray
- Highlight the supplier
- Ctrl + x (to cut the name out)
- Tab out of the field (or click on blank space)
- Shift + Tab to go back to field (or click back in field)
- Ctrl + V (paste the supplier back in)
- Tab out of field again (or Select/click the same supplier from the drop down list)
- the Due date will update.
This action forces the system to look up the card and retrieve the latest terms.
Hence a minor code update for any developers to fix this permanently.
My company pays over $3,780 (multiple entities) annually to access MYOB software and MYOB cannot provide a basic function. What are subscriptions funding? Shouldn't it be the basics of accounting?
MYOB THIS IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH. FIX NOW.
Yes! Has this been fixed as yet (I can't find where to set default payment terms for each supplier)?
FFS How long does it take to implement a feature that is considered a necessity by all users and I would be surprised not to find in all other accounting software programs
YES!!
I have just moved from AccountRight V19 to Business Lite and this drives me nuts...
Come on MYOB, online users have been asking for this for a relatively long time. This seems to be a very simple enhancement to me (I developed databases for decades).
It frustrates the hell out of me to have to enter payment terms for suppliers on each individual invoice input. Particularly when I am processing batches of 30+, all from the same supplier and all in the same month.
It amazes me that there are not hundreds of votes for this to be done, perhaps people are just too accepting of annoying issues like this in 2025.
This would definitely be incredibly useful and time-saving. It's frustrating having to set the due date for nearly every bill/invoice.
Yes please! Some of the comments here indicate that this isn't possible in the browser version (which I avoid if I can help it) but I imagine the original post wanted more customisability in the desktop version as well. I can't think of any specific examples but I know I've needed more options than were available over the past 25+ years.
And also to set individual customer card preferences for online payments while you're at it.
Some customers have said they won't pay surcharges so we'd like to exclude them from online payments totally without having to remember to turn it off on every invoice we send them.
This is very needed, the browser is a good modern way to go, and more convenient on devices that don't have the horse power to run desktop. But the inability to automate billing for account suppliers because this bit was left out of the browser based system is a real pain point.
It's probably the worst loss of functionality there is in the MYOB AR browser.
When will this ESSENTIAL feature be implemented? It is crazy to have to manually enter every due date for every invoice from our regular suppliers that have standard terms. MYOB is not making running business easier. This feature should be at the top of the priority list by the developers.
This is an absolute must! If you have a supplier that has EOM+30 days, it should be set in the contact card so that all invoices entered for that supplier default to those payment terms. Instead, EVERY SINGLE INVOICE you have to remember to change the due date of the invoice manually
