If applicable, you can add late fees to over-due invoices. As a pre-requisite, you will setup a goods/service for the late fee. This goods/service MUST be setup of type Late fee. When using accrual accounting, set the goods/service recognition to On Invoice Date. This will ensure that the late fee charge is appropriately accounted for. Date of the fee will reflect the current date, NOT the invoice date.
