Hi Pete,when somebody pays for an overdue invoice we have to manually change the date. If human error occurs and the date is not changed is causes havoc with taxreturns and year end accounts. Is it possible for you guys to have the system date show up in there / today’s date. To me that makes more sense because that is the actual date that they payment is received?

Hi ,
The reason we don’t do it is because it’s ‘Bullet’, defining the payment date, and that as you know impacts your tax returns. 
When you’re paying an invoice we’ve no idea if it’s a late payment or your just putting it in late. 
If we changed the other way, it would cause problems the other side. So it’s kind of a win/win or lose/lose.

    But, we'll have a look to see if we can do something smarter.
