Sales/Purchases: Use today's date not last entered date

Can the date in MYOB be set to todays date as default.

We are finding, we might go back and look/amend at a previous order/nvoice for example, then when you enter a new invoice it stays at that previous date, instead of todays date, which can cause issues, eg when a payment is made.

I have had a look if there is a setting in preferences to do this, but I cant find anything.

Could you please look at having today's date be the default date when opening ANY Transaction Entry window?  It is so frustrating to have to make sure you check this each time.

I have used a lot of accounting software programs and never had to deal with such an obvious flaw before.

I'm sure I've sent a similar email last year.  Surely it's an easy fix!!!

Thanks,

Hi, wondering if it's possible for a box to pop up to say "Warning this is not todays date"or something when creating a new invoice.  Sometimes if the employee before you has been dealing with backorders or something the next invoice will have an old date on it and then if no one realises, before you know it there are many invoices in on the wrong date. If you're really unlucky then you may not realise until the next day when reconciling EFT...

"Invoice dates"

Im having a rant evening due to just trying Accountright 2015 v2 and seeing no improvements re lots of issues

Are other people having problems with Myob defaulting invoice dates to the last recorded one

This is a major issue and if others are having problems themn please let me know

I can understand why it would be useful for someone inputing information from a manual system for them to be able to change the date and it to stay set at wheat the last recorded invoice was 

 BUT 

for those of us using it for recording pended Invoices from yesterday or last week and then doing a current today invoice then the last thing you want is the date to keep defaulting to the last recorded invoice date 

The default for each new invoice should be the current date (seeing as a lot of people would be using Myob online for counter sales) 

this causes us problems especially at the beginning of the new month as we get accidental backdated invoices due to recording last months invoices in this month and then doing a current month invoice 

The best solution is to give the usuer the option of what their computer defaults to ( not a system wide option but a local one ) 

3 possible options 

1.    Current date always

2.    Last recorded invoice date

3.    the user sets the default date ( for someone who imputs data from the day before )

Please note same issue with Purchases too 

Some help and changes would be appreciated

Hi, we have been frustrated several times after having altered a previous invoice, the next new invoice we do keeps the old date which can throw out a whole day if no one notices it. It would be great if a pop up box came up and said "Are you sure you want to use an earlier date?" Thanks, KC

Great idea, especially when clients are changing from an order to an invoice and the date defaults to the order date. The date should default to the current date as the client may forget to lock a prior period and the sale is recorded potentially some months ago. 

Agree, so long as any backorders arising are created at the date of the original order.

It makes sense. For the most part we require the invoice date to be the day we are actually doing the invoice. Yes, sometimes invoices need back-dating, but only sometimes. I can't tell you how many invoices I've done without realising the date is not "Todays date". At the very least the program could pop up a warning box asking if we're sure about the date not being that of today.

Totally agree.  This is a MAJOR flaw.  I'm a new user and cannot believe that MYOB is so backward in not having a date generated system that also defaults to today's date.

So frustrating.
