Join nowuntil yesterday I could just enter 2252021 when posting ap and now I get a error and have to use the stupid calendar which slows me down in posting
Hi, @dsmith1084.
Thank you for raising your concern here on the Community page.
I can help you with adding dates to your transactions without manually opening the calendar window.
You need to separate the day, month, and year with the forward-slash (/) symbol so the system won't give you an error message to use a valid entry.
I've added these screenshots for your visual references.
If you're getting the same error, I recommend closing and re-opening QuickBooks again to refresh the login. Moreover, you can perform the basic troubleshooting steps to isolate the issue.
First, try entering the dates using a private window. This browser prevents any virus infections that can cause unexpected behavior when using QuickBooks.
To save you time, use either of these keyboard shortcuts:
If it works fine, go back to your original browser and clear its cache to start fresh.
For additional tips about working with your vendor/AP transactions, you can check out the topics from this link: Enter expenses, pay bills, write checks, and manage suppliers.
Please let me know how else I can help you with entering the dates of your transactions. I'm more than happy to help. Keep safe!
I did exit and log back in did not fix the problem
putting in the slash takes up time you use to be able to just entere 22621 and it would post it in there
I'll point you in the right direction, @dsmith1084.

Ensure to call them within business hours to guarantee we cater to your concern promptly.
Once everything is good, you can now enter the date using the format you've previously practiced in your bill.
Additionally, you have an option to change the date format in your Account and Settings. See the sample screenshot below for your reference:
