AI without any doubt.
Look at the pictures, plenty of them has "text" but none is readable as far as I can see.

My interaction with my business invoicing support. It's illuminating.
Update: They said they would pass it along to the development team. So maybe something will happen. 
Hi,
I just have a suggestion. When sending an invoice, the due date defaults to the day's date. Unfortunately that has caused me to send off a couple of invoices with same day turn arounds attached to them.
Wouldn't it be a good idea to default the date entry field in that section it to like 30 days from todays date? Just my $0.02
Thanks for your consideration.
Hello,
You are able to change the due date to what you would like. We don't have a default due date because all businesses are different for their payment terms.
Please let me know if you have any further questions
Thank you
Hi,
I understand what you’re saying but you *do* have a default, and it defaults to today, which is the right answer for almost nobody.
Maybe if you required someone to put in a date it wouldn’t cause issues. Or maybe I’m the only one that’s ever fired off an invoice with the default date, but I doubt it.
Anyway, thanks for hearing me out regardless.
I hope I didn't sound rude, but a little awareness goes a long way.

Not rude, misguided.
You think they care.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

It seems like it's a small outfit - at least that's the impression I get. They might care.

I mean I agree with you, the field should be defaulted to empty and set to be required. Their response seemed to say they didn't care about your point.

That's the impression I was ultimately left with, but here's to hoping. And here's to me having a reason to look for an alternative.

The default should be set by a user configured parameter, because all business are different and todays date could not be more incorrect!

What invoicing software is this? I'm not a fan of QuickBooks Online any more (used to be great though), but even they will default the due date for an invoice based on the payment terms you set beforehand (NET 15, NET, 30, etc.) and you can have a default payment term too.

I have sent a number of such missives and am always surprised it is not common or required practice for recipients to take such as an opportunity to improve their product. Though on occasion I have been informed my suggestions "Will be forwarded to the engineering department" even re/ hardware .
|
|
|
|
|
This must be SOP for my company because we get forwarded comments and suggestions.
|
|
|
|
|
Are the forwarded comments and suggestions at your firm helpful . Perhaps you have received some of my own .
|
|
|
|
|
Sometimes they are, but unless you are an event organizer, you haven't made suggestions for the platform I work on. I always appreciate the effort to improve the tools instead of just whining about them publicly

The person you spoke with does probably does know their product in detail or not looking at the same view of the interface you are. Either way doomed to failure. Don't know how many invoices you submit per month but write your own form in word. I did it for years and worked just fine. but I only did about 3 a month.

I was dealing with an online tracking system and while I was at a meeting I pointed out that the various screens that I could see were all on the map page.
I asked them why and they said its the primary page.
So I asked them why the login page directed me to the main Billing page and I had to click 3 times to get the their so-called main page - every single time!
Room got real quiet...

Reminds me of the time I complained about the text on disabled buttons in a UI being the same color as the button (rendering the text invisible). I was told they wouldn't fix it and that I should change my [Windows] color scheme.... (affecting all my apps, not just this one).
Then, I told them I was using the default, out of the box, [Windows] color scheme... and then they said, "oh," and fixed it. 
Apparently, none of their staff was using the default color scheme...

I think that's true of most of us, at least some of the time. The trick is to be willing to see, though!
It also applies to proof-reading - so easy to read something 10 times yourself that you've written and not spot something that jumps out at another reader.

“ON RECEIPT” should fit.
(If I counted correctly )
Just view source and replace the date validation routine.
|
|
|
|
|
The default due date should be yesterday
Seriously though, that should be a configurable option.

Should've been rude. And included a screen shot to support your position.

Musk says there will be features on his app that won't be found on the web.
How is that possible when all the data is on servers?
So, "you must install my app" if you want to see "new tweets before old", or something.
Right.

Musk, Trump... livin' rent free in sooooo many heads these days.

So now Musk the antichrist because he wants to put premium features in an app? Do you know for certain it's just to harvest data? Do you honestly think MS doesn't do that with practically forcing folks create an online account with Windows? Where you complaining publicly when FB did this? Or is it now only a big deal because the TV tells you to hate Musk now and so you do without question?
Btw, if you ever get a glimpse of how TV is made... it'll open your eyes to just how fake all of it is.

And rather being the product of a television set... why don't you spend your time researching how every last thing you see in the media comes down to being ran by only a handful of people. There is no diversity. It's an illusion - just like with eye glasses. And while you're at it, do some research on what makes a third world country a third world country, economically speaking.
Or don't. Refuse to read anything new. Believe what the TV tells you without question. Be mind controlled.
