Subject: [ubl-dev] Invoice DueDate: which element?

Hi,

I am confused which element to use for the due date of the invoice. The date before which payment MUST be received.

 

I can see two options:

Cac:PaymentTerms/cac:PenaltyPeriod/cbc:StartDate

Cac:PaymentTerms/cac:SettlementPeriod/cbc:EndDate

 

The first because the expiry of the due date can be seen as the start of the penalty period. The second because the due date can be seen as the date in which the ‘grace period’ expires.

 

Which one is the correct one? Or maybe something completely different?

 

Thanks,

Roland Hommes
