Invoice due date out of range error on Link My Books

Written by Ruth Buan
Updated this week

What this error means

The error “Due Date Out of Range” appears when Link My Books tries to create an invoice in Xero, but the due date on the invoice falls outside the range allowed by Xero.

Xero enforces rules around invoice dates and due dates. If the due date generated by Link My Books does not meet these rules, the invoice will be rejected.


Why this happens

Common reasons include:

  • The due date is earlier than the invoice date

  • The due date is outside the range allowed by Xero

  • The invoice terms configured in Link My Books create an invalid due date

This validation rule is enforced by Xero, not by Link My Books.


How to resolve it

You will need to review and adjust the due date configuration used for invoices.

  1. Log in to Link My Books

  2. Go to your invoice or accounting settings

  3. Locate the invoice terms or due date configuration

  4. Adjust the settings so the due date falls within the permitted range

  5. Save the changes and retry posting the settlement

If needed, you can also review your invoice terms directly in Xero.


When to contact support

Contact Link My Books support if:

  • The due date appears valid but the error still occurs

  • You are unsure how the due date is being generated

  • The settlement continues to fail after adjusting the configuration

This will help our team investigate more quickly.
