DEFAULT DATE TO BE BLANK WHEN POSTING A TRANSACTION

Please can Sage50 consider the option to leave the default date blank upon entering transactions to ensure that the correct document date is entered, and not posted as today's date.

This will ensure that there are no future transactions sitting in the background. Supplier Invoices tend to be historical which makes it time consuming to correct errors that relate to the default date.

  • If you have a lot of invoices to enter on a specific date, the default date can be changed via Settings>CHange Program Date...

    Though, I agree, it could be useful to have a configurable flag as to whether the program date is inserted into the date as a default, or it is left blank.

  • I think there ought to be a pop up message asking you to confirm the entry whenever you enter a future date, The problem generally occurs in January each year. A user types 2012 and tabs not realising the date has defaulted to 20/12/2023; 11 months in future and not 1 month in the past.
