e-bills uses scheduled due date vs downloaded due date in Bills summary under Bills & Income
I know I have seen this discussed but couldn't find the thread. When you setup a Bill reminder and link to an e-biller you must initially setup a amount due and a schedule. The ebill is downloaded and the Bills summary tab creates a table with Payee, Type, Due Date, Amount Payment Status and Actions as the header. On this page the Amount is updated to match the value downloaded but the Due Date NEVER changes from the initial manually configured schedule. If you go to Edit all Instance for the bill, The Transaction Detail has a correct due date and amount that was downloaded from the ebiller. So the information for both of these fields is present and stored so it can be displayed in Transaction Detail. I don't understand why both values cannot update back to the Bills summary page. This can be a problem if you rely on the due date and due date isn't fixed which occurs often with Utilities. I've reported this through the support channel over the last few years hoping someone will spend 30 minutes to fix this. Every new release I look and am always disappointed when it isn't corrected.
You have to know which bills are linked to eBillers and when it is downloaded overwrite the due date in the same manner as the due amount. If you are concerned about what occurs for the next bill if the ebill fails to download, you would revert to the manually scheduled date until the download is successful. This becomes an annoyance when the due date moves to an earlier date and you are relying on the reminder and you discover you have a late payment when you think you are paying on time.
