Invoice NS-XK52M-1 for $180.00 (Wholesale espresso blend, 5kg) to Corner Cafe shows as 3 days overdue, but the invoice was created and sent today at 16:59 UTC, minutes before this alert. Its due date was set to 2026-10-24, a date already in the past when it was sent, so the "overdue" status looks like a date-entry mistake rather than a late payment. Nothing is lost yet; the buyer has not opened the invoice. If nobody acts, the buyer may get a confusing "overdue" notice for a bill they have only just received.
