We just upgraded to QB 21 Desktop Enterprise. When changing an order or invoice a popup comes up indicating that we made a change and, do you want to change previous and future docs. I can't even image why anyone would want to change any previous documents. Previous documents become part of the customers history. I'm concerned that users with choose to change previous documents in error which would be a nightmare when running history reports. Is there anything I can do about this popup? See the image below.
