We created an item on 4/9/24 to begin tracking on 01/01/21 with 0 quantity. First purchase was made 11/01/23, first sale was made 11/02/23. Invoice says please select a transaction date that comes after the date you started tracking the quantity. Does anyone know how to actually fix this?
Item was set up 04/09/24 to start tracking as of 01/01/21 with a starting quantity of 0. First purchase was made on 11/01/23 and first sale was on 11/02/23. Invoice says please select a transaction date that comes after the date you started tracking the quantity.

I recognize the importance of accurately tracking your invoice dates based on when they got paid, Rainey. Allow me to share steps to help fix the problem.
This warning appears if the invoice date is the date before you start tracking the quantity on hand for the item. See the example screenshot below.
To fix this, we need to check the quantity date set on the item. Ensure that the dates selected is correct.
Here's how:
If you notice that you have entered the date as 01/01/21, but you still see the warning message on the invoice, I recommend taking some basic troubleshooting steps to check if it is a browser issue. Your browser's cache and cookies may have become corrupted, which can cause problems when accessing websites or opening files.
You may also try using a private window to prevent your browser history from being saved. Please refer to the following keyboard shortcuts based on your browser type.
If the private browsing session works, clear the browser's cache so the system can restart. This task is also possible in other supported, up-to-date browsers. Clearing the cache will reboot the system, allowing you to work with clearing the stocked cache and cookies causing the issues.
