What is an overdue invoice?
An overdue invoice is unpaid after its due date.
An invoice becomes overdue when the due date has passed and payment is still outstanding.
You can send a polite reminder with the invoice number, due date, and amount outstanding.
Keeping clear records of reminders helps if you need to escalate later.
