Invoice add-ons
Show payment due date: Tells TimeCache to add an automatically calculated payment due date to the header or footer of new invoices when this checkbox is checked.

Lead-in text: The text to use for the label or in the field before (or surrounding) the date. By including a placeholder for the date in the text you enter, you can force TimeCache to construct a simple plain-text field (by default — you can stylize with the normal invoice field tools). If you omit the date placeholder, TimeCache creates a label from the text you enter in this field, and enters the date as a plain text field (also customizable). To use the date placeholder, type <<Date>> wherever you want the date to appear. For example, Please pay by <<Date>> would appear on invoices as Please pay by 5/4/2012, while Please pay by would appear as Please pay by: 5/4/2012.

___ days past invoice date: Tells TimeCache how many days to add to the invoice date for calculating the due date.

Show in: Lets you choose to show the payment due date in the invoice header or footer. It can be moved from its default position by editing the layout as described in How to move header and footer fields.

NOTE: Payment due date fields cannot be added to invoice layouts that have already been saved, and unchecking this option does not remove them from invoice layouts to which they have been added. This setting only applies to new invoice layouts you create from Default layouts.

Balance-forward settings
Interest: TimeCache can generate invoices that include unpaid balances of saved invoices, and those "balance forward" invoices can include an interest amount. You set the rate that TimeCache should use to calculate interest due in this field. Be sure to enter the percentage as the percentage to be charged, not the multiplicand. In other words, for a one-percent interest charge, enter “1”, not “.01”.

You can change the interest amount that TimeCache calculates is due before the invoice is prepared.

You may also want to change the default terms Previous balance and Interest that TimeCache uses in the Category column of a balance forward invoice. You can change these on the Terminology panel of TimeCache Preferences. They are in the Invoice Terms group in the list on that panel.

After ___ days: Use this field to set the period in days after which an interest charge is added to a "balance forward" invoice. Note that TimeCache calculates a multiple of the interest rate by the number of periods that have passed. For example, with an interest rate of 1% and an interval of 30 days, after 60 days of non-payment, TimeCache would calculate an interest charge of 2% (1% times two 30-day periods) for a new balance forward invoice.
