💡 [Feature Request] - Enter Payment Date When Submitting Invoice #858

Open JustinFowlerArt opened 4 months ago

JustinFowlerArt commented 4 months ago

Summary

Would like to be able to select the date to use when submitting a purchase invoice and creating a payment record.

What problem are you trying to solve?

I typically enter most of my bookkeeping 1-2 times per month. This causes all of the payments to be submitted on the same day, rather than the date of the invoice or a chosen date.

Basic Example

Currently, submitting a purchase invoice while automatically creating the payment record always enters the payment on the day it was submitted. I would like to be able to select the date that I want to use for the payment.

Drawbacks

Would need a pop up or other method to select the date of the payment to be submitted.

You should already be able to select the purchase invoice date by changing the Date field when creating a Purchase Invoice

And then when you add a Purchase Payment, if you change the Posting Date it should change to the date that the payment was submitted

Thanks for responding. I should have mentioned that this is specifically when using the "Make Payment On Submit" setting for invoices. This creates a payment using the date that you submit the invoice. I will switch to using this method.
