Adding boolean "Manual" in payment term which cause not to override due
date in invoice is good solution. But if user in manual payment term
invoice doesn't set the due date system should raise error.

More advanced option is to treat "Manual" payment term as "suggested".
In such case due date would be calculated when invoice is created and
when payment term is changed but due date can be changed before
validation and will not be overrode.

In PL it is sense to print payment term and due date. Usually we print
payment term like "bank transfer 14 days" and due date calculated from
that. We would also need a payment term "bank transfer" with salesman
decision of due date. So for us payment term is not only shortcut for
calculation but also information which way payment should be done:
transfer, cash, credit card.

Bug description:
Hello Experts,

There is a little but important discussion here about due_date.

The Current scenario is, On Invoice; Doesn't matter we write due_date or no, its being overwritten based on the calculations of payment term(if supplied).

One of the accounting expert said that, when we have given any date on due_date explicitly, (that is the date we want), Validating the invoice should not overwrite the due_date.

We would like to know your view,how fair is it?

Does it affect anything? Maturity date will be fine with partial payments(20% + 30% + rest)?

Thanks.
