# How to Set Default Due Dates for Each Client/Vendor to Auto-Apply Them While Creating Documents?

Manually setting due dates for every invoice or expense can be time-consuming and prone to errors. 

With Refrens, you can assign a **Default Due Date (Days)** to each client or vendor. 

This ensures that whenever you create an invoice or expenditure, the correct due date is automatically filled in - saving you time and helping you maintain consistent payment terms.

## How to Set a Default Due Date for a Client or Vendor?

1. **Go to Clients or Vendors**: Navigate to the Clients or Vendors section from your Refrens dashboard.
2. **Add or Edit a Client/Vendor:** Click on “Add Client” or “Edit” an existing client/vendor.
3. **Find the Default Due Date (Days) Field:** In the form, scroll to the **Additional Details** section (below Email and Phone Number), then look for the field labeled **Default Due Date (Days)**.
4. **Enter the Number of Days:** Type the standard number of days you want invoices or bills to be due for this client/vendor (e.g., 30).

Click “Save,” and you are good to go!

## How It Works When Creating Documents

**When you create an Invoice, Quotation, Proforma Invoice, Debit Note, or Expenditure:**

* If you select a client or vendor with a default due date, the due date field will auto-fill based on their setting. You’ll see a notification confirming the due date was updated:

|| If you manually change the due date, Refrens will respect your choice and not overwrite it.


## Frequently Asked Questions

**Q: Can I override the auto-filled due date?**
A: Yes! You can always manually change the due date on any document. Once you do, Refrens will not auto-update it again for that document.

That's it!
