The status date will differ from the accounting date on a cash receipt (and maybe adjustments).  The cash receipt will have the status date of the original invoice issued but an accounting date of date of the cash receipt deposit.  If you are trying to balance out to General Ledger, I would only rely on the accounting date. 

 You can see the difference in AR - Inquiry - Entries - Transactions.  Add the column for the Accounting Date.

Thanks. We have a few examples for an Invoice (not cash receipt) that has different status and accounting dates. So it's hitting the GL in one year and AR in another year. The GL and AR module is off by that amount until the later date passes. I've seen this with Voids, somebody voids something with the wrong date. But I've never seen it with an Open Invoice before (no adjustments on the invoice). The Accounting date is 1/31/2022 and the Status date is 1/31/2021. There is nothing in the adjustment register. Is there a way I can fix this? Maybe I need to Void the Invoices using the accounting date and re-enter them since I'm not sure I can adjust a Status date on them. 

According to the link, the status date is set by the invoice date.  I think you are right that the only solution is to void and start over.  I ran across something in knowledgebase about voiding older invoices that you should review.  Use knowledgebase at:  Sage Knowledgebase and type in the search box "void ar invoice".  It will affect older periods and may be something you should consider first.  Good Luck!
