Invoice date and due date - recent change issue

Previously I was able to set the date of the invoice to the date I received payment leaving the due date as the original date of issue. [a recent update to] The system no longer allows me to do this. Is there any chance of undoing this change as I would like invoice to show the effectively over due date as they did before. Or perhaps even have a setting which would allow this.

The reason I am doing this is that initially the unpaid ‘invoices’ are advice notes, in Spain I need to manually allocate a consecutive invoice number (which I won’t know until it becomes paid) which I only want to do when the invoice is paid otherwise I would end up having to pay the tax on unpaid but issued invoices which is a problem if they are slow to pay.

Hi,

@david can you please advise?

You may want to use another document such as credit/quote for these “advices”, you can change the labels on the documents and send them out, then, later you can clone them.

Quite a few are automatically generated using recurring invoices. I didn’t really want to change my workflow especially adding an additional layer of complication (and time!), previous method worked well for me.

Could perhaps the dialog that comes up now give you the option to confirm your change rather than just denying you?

Is there any chance that my suggestion of giving the option to confirm the change on the date could be made?

If you’d like to see a change made in the app it’s best to create an issue on GitHub.

have done so: Modify restriction on Invoice Date/Due Date ¡ Issue #9878 ¡ invoiceninja/invoiceninja ¡ GitHub
