Modifying the paid date in your invoices is a great functionality, thescheutzows.
As of now, this feature is unavailable in QuickBooks Self-Employed. When you mark the transaction as paid, the date will automatically be set to today.
I can see how the functionality would be beneficial to your business. With this, I recommend submitting product feedback to help improve your experience using the program. This way, our product engineers can consider this option for future system upgrades.
Here's how:
- Go to the Assistant menu.
- Type in the "Submit or Give feedback" keyword in the Type something... field.
- Choose the Add a feature option.
- Type the feature you want (i.e., modify paid date) in the Type something field again.
- Click Yes.
For your visual reference, I've attached some screenshots below.
