A Net-15 invoice tracker that keeps the short clock visible
When you bill on Net-15, payment is due in two weeks — there is no slack for a forgotten invoice. The risk is that a Net-15 invoice gets mixed in with longer-term ones and the short window quietly runs out. Cash Workspace gives you one place to record each Net-15 invoice with its issue date, a Net-15 terms tag, the due date you set, and a due-soon note so the fast-due items stay front of mind.
The problem
Why Net-15 invoices slip through
Short terms only help cash flow if you actually watch them. When Net-15 invoices live in the same undifferentiated pile as Net-30 and Net-60, the tight window is the first thing to get lost.
- A Net-15 invoice sent on the 3rd is due on the 18th, but it looks identical to a Net-30 in your list.
- You only notice it's late when the client mentions it, well past the 15-day mark.
- The terms live in the invoice PDF but nowhere you can sort or filter on.
- You quote Net-15 to speed up cash, then track it as loosely as everything else.
- Due dates get calculated in your head and never written down anywhere checkable.
The workflow
Track each Net-15 invoice from issue to paid
Tag the terms, set the due date the moment you issue, and review the short-cycle list often.
- 1
Record on issue
When you send a Net-15 invoice, record its number, client, amount, and issue date right away.
- 2
Tag the terms
Add a Net-15 terms tag so these invoices are easy to filter apart from longer-term ones.
- 3
Set the due date
Count 15 days from the issue date and record that exact due date — don't keep it in your head.
- 4
Add a due-soon note
Note when the invoice enters its final few days so it surfaces before, not after, the deadline.
- 5
Update status
Move it from Sent to Paid as soon as payment lands, and review the open Net-15 list every few days.
Record structure
What to record for each Net-15 invoice
A short, consistent field set keeps every fast-due invoice findable and current.
- Invoice number
- Your reference for the invoice, so payments and notes attach to the right record.
- Client
- Who owes, kept as a consistent client record across their invoices.
- Issue date
- The day you sent it — the start of the 15-day clock.
- Terms tag
- A Net-15 tag so these invoices sort apart from Net-30 and Net-60.
- Due date
- Issue date plus 15 days, recorded explicitly so it's never ambiguous.
- Amount
- The invoice total and currency.
- Due-soon note
- A short note flagging the last few days before the due date.
- Status
- Sent, partially paid, paid, or overdue, updated as things move.

Common mistakes
Mistakes to avoid
- Filing Net-15 invoices in the same undifferentiated list as longer-term ones.
- Calculating the 15-day due date in your head instead of recording it.
- Skipping the terms tag, so you can't pull up just the fast-due invoices.
- Reviewing receivables only monthly, which is too slow for a 15-day cycle.
- Leaving an invoice marked Sent after it's actually been paid.

FAQ
Net-15 tracking FAQ
- How do I know a Net-15 invoice is due?
- You record the issue date and add 15 days as the due date, then add a due-soon note as it approaches. Cash Workspace keeps that due date and note in the invoice's record so you can review what's coming.
- Does Cash Workspace calculate the due date for me?
- You set the due date yourself by counting 15 days from issue; the workspace records it alongside the terms tag and status so the date is always written down and checkable.
- Can I separate Net-15 from my other invoices?
- Yes — tagging invoices Net-15 lets you keep the short-cycle ones in their own view or folder, apart from Net-30 and Net-60.
