Hi All,
I have a business which creates several hundred invoices each month. It is fairly common for customers to email us and ask for another copy of their invoice. It used to be that all users could go in and print an invoice from a closed period. Recently QBO changed settings or something.

Printing the invoice should not require the period end close password.
What setting do I need to change to fix this?
