Why was my invoice scheduled for Auto Payment at a later date?

For QuickBooks Online users, changing your business's Payment Terms can lead to a scheduling mix-up when it comes to getting paid by Auto Payment-enabled clients. 
For instance, if you create an invoice for an Auto Payment-enabled client that is "Due On Receipt" and you notice the payment is scheduled for a later date, perhaps the 1st, 15th, or 30th of the month, then you're running into this issue. 

Luckily, the fix is quick. Intuit has a short tutorial on how to edit your payment terms here. Here's a quick overview if you already know the payment term used on your invoice:

1. Open your business on QuickBooks Online
2. Go to Settings and select All lists.
3. Select Terms.
4. Find the term used on your invoice, such as Due on Receipt.
5. Under Action, select Edit. 
6. Make sure Due in fixed number of days is set to 0.
7. Click Save.
