When Adding Billable Item, clicking dont invoice for now, then clicking Invoice now, Due date wrong

[Hosting NSB]

So Im not sure how to remedy this and it seems like im just missing something, heres how the flow has been

 

when we complete work for a client that I want to bill out for, we go to that client click "Add Billable Item" select our normal website work item and fill in the appropriate data, change the (next) due date to be a month from today and then click dont invoice for now

 

Now when we get back to the unbilled entries I tick the box next to the item and click "Invoice Now" for some reason, doing it this way makes the due date today, not the date added to the item itself, anyone know why this is happening and how I can stop it, when clicking Invoice now it gives me no options, just shoots out an invoice that is due today

 

Thank you in advance!

that sounds like the way Billable Items was designed to work.

 

if you had chosen "Invoice For Normal as Due Date", then the cron would have sent the email x days before the due date (x being whatever your Invoice Generation value is in the automation settings)...

 

would it be an option to use Custom Invoicing for this instead?

 

http://docs.whmcs.com/Invoicing#Creating_Custom_Invoices

 

if you did, you'll be able to enter a custom due date too - and the invoice will use it!

Actually yes that would probably do exactly what I need, thank you for your input!
