# Defining Default Due Dates

The default due date in each of your locations defines how many days after being created invoices become due. It is the most generic due date available in Nexudus.

          Using an automated payment method?

          

Invoice payments only start processing on the due date.

This default due date is set to 3 days after the invoice is created when you open a new location.

You can switch this date at any point. Just remember that your new default due date only impacts invoices you create after you've saved your new default due date.

          💡 Any applicable [plan](/docs/defining-plan-due-dates), [contract](/docs/defining-contract-due-dates), or [customer](/docs/defining-customer-due-dates) due dates automatically override your default due date.

          

For example, if your default due date is set to *3 days*, but you invoice a customer for a plan with a custom due date, their invoice will always follow the custom due date instead of the default.
