New Quickbooks Invoice past due stamp feature
Quickbooks 2018 v.18 now shows past due on all invoices on your screen. Don’t panic, by default this will not print on the invoices you’re sending to your customers. While many people will find this annoying at first, showing a “Past Due” stamp helps you identify these invoices so you can take action and minimize delayed collection of dues. I do think that Quickbooks should have a toggle switch to turn off this feature if unwanted but until then rest assured your customer will not get this stamp unless you want them to.
If you want to show the Past Due stamp on printed invoices
You can also email and print these invoices with the stamp to send to your customers.
| Important: The Past Due stamp can only be turned on or off on a template level setting. |
