nextinvoicedate / nextduedate - NET28

[robin]

I'm hoping someone has a simple answer to this question.

 

I have updated the fields in the database manually with dates to reflect what I think the nextduedate and nextinvoicedate items represent. I hate having to wait until the next month to roll around and then having to fix whatever errors are created.

 

so... here's what I would like to do.

 

bill clients on the first of the month with a due date of the 28th

 

so the way I see it is...

nextduedate = Sept 28, 2009

nextinvoicedate = Sept 28, 2009

automation --> days before due = 28

 

If I have this right, and this is the question part of my post... Will invoices be generated on the first or each month, and the first one will be sent on Sept 1st? or will the invoice not go out until the 28th?

 

If I have this wrong, please let me know what my values should be so that someone will be invoiced on the 1st of September, with a due date of the 28th of the same month. Thereafter invoices will be sent on the 1st and due on the 28th.

 

Thanks, I really appreciate any assistance.
