When you publish an invoice, you may see the following error.

Invoice date cannot be after due date.

This occurs if the invoice date extracted/entered is later than the invoice due date extracted/entered.

To clear this error, follow the steps below:

Unpublish the affected invoices.
Edit either the invoice date or the due date so that the invoice date precedes the due date.
Republish the affected invoices.

The error message can take around 5-10 minutes to clear, and your invoices should then transfer to your accounts package successfully.
