Default payment period

Has any solution been found to the software automatically changing the default payment period for existing clients to 14 days? Its rather annoying.

  • Sadly it defaults to whatever your global default invoice payment terms value was set to when you created the contact record. 

    MYOB could rather easily add the ability to change it on the contact form, but they don't. It would literally take a few hours of dev time to add a field to the form, and then some testing, etc, because the backend database is already set up for it.

     

    I have a number of contacts that were set up with 14 days terms and some that are set up to be 0 days and I need to remember to change them *every time* because this can't be changed after the contact is set up. 

     

    The advice I was given was to delete and recreate the contact after changing my default invoice terms but this would likely cause all sorts of referential integrity problems. (I am a database application software developer in a previous life)
