Payment Terms: expose organisation and contact default due dates
Expose the organisation and contact default due dates on GET Organisation and GET Contact respectively. Xero now supports setting default due dates on an organisation wide or per contact basis.

shared this idea
You can now retrieve the default payment terms for an organisation and also for a specific contact. See http://developer.xero.com/documentation/api/organisation/ and http://developer.xero.com/documentation/api/contacts/
Support for updating these via the API will come in a later release – please vote on this other request – http://xero.uservoice.com/forums/5528-xero-api/suggestions/4376082-set-payment-terms-via-the-api

Since this idea was to only expose the due date preferences in Organisation and Contact API responses, but not to actually apply them on the Bills and Invoices, I've added another idea that actually specifically asks for that.
So anyone that wants to have same Due Date logic on API and manually created invoices should vote on it here: https://xero.uservoice.com/forums/5528-xero-accounting-api/suggestions/18101464-apply-same-invoice-due-date-logic-like-in-the-ui

+1 this should be automatic if the due date isn't specified in the api package

I consider this a critical addition to the API - an external app should be able to raise an invoice with due dates that are based on rules set out for that contact (without the app having to replicate the setting locally). Thanks for your consideration.
