I would like to be able to adjust the date that an active subscription payment is due. Is this possible?

There needs to be some way to do this - I've just created a subscription for a recurring payment to a supplier, which was approaching being overdue, in order to ensure I didn't miss any. However, it's been created with tomorrows day of the month for the recurring transaction and I'd prefer to pay my supplier more promptly.
This can't be an uncommon scenario? It's not good for the cash flow of companies using this service!

Would be great if there were an answer to this. There used to be an advanced variable apparently that you could set for this feature, but I don't find it documented any longer.
PAYPAL? Is it still do-able?

Hello everyone, and welcome to the community forums!
Bill dates on existing subscriptions can't be modified, because this affects the contract between buyer and seller established at the time of the subscription. You and your buyer can establish a new recurring payment profile, with the new date.
Since all of you are using recurring payments, you may want to take a look at the features of Enhanced Recurring Payments to see if there are any other features available there that strike your fancy. It doesn't allow the modification of the bill date, but you may be interested in some of the other elements it offers.
I hope this helps!
