Dates on Invoice

Date will not default to today's date!

Example: I will do a post check transaction say dated 5/5/22 , Then I will go to do an invoice and it is dated 5/5/22, Today is 4/28/22, why wont it revert back to today's date !??  I had sent an invoice with a date that isn't here yet and they called to question of course.  Frustrating and embarassing !   Quickbooks online has issues with this  and settings , why can't they get this updated and set up to meet our needs easier like desktop version! ??

Dates on Invoice

I've got your back to help ensure you can set a default invoice for a certain date, @dldavey.pecorepl.

 

In QuickBooks Online, once you make an invoice, it will use the last transaction date you created. All you can do is manually enter the date to 5/5/22, so this will be the new default period.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Click + New.
  2. Choose Invoice.
  3. From the Customer ▼ dropdown, select a customer. 
  4. Enter the Invoice date manually. Then from the Terms ▼ dropdown, select the due date. 

  5. From the Product/Service column, select a product or service.
  6. Enter a quantity, rate and change amount if needed. 
  7. Select a GST rate.
  8. Once done, click Save and close.
