Backdate an invoice

[mattsteinruck]

I need to create an invoice dated in the previous month to log a previous payment, and so the client has it accurately for their records.

(So far, it only looks like you can create them "today" or on-going.)

Possible?

Hello @mattsteinruck! 

Currently we do not have the ability to back date an invoice. Since invoices are mainly used for credit card payments the dates need to be accurate. If you were able to edit the date this could create opportunity for fraudsters to manipulate the system to their favor. I've seen this feature request a few time, but it is not currently on our roadmap. 

If you have any other questions please let me know.

Well, this is a highly needed feature, especially for travelling businesses that also accept cash payments.

We would like to keep notes on who paid what during the week and do book keeping and send out paid invoices back dated to the actual day they were paid.

This makes it very hard to use your system that way since we cannot reflect the correct day of the invoice we can't tell accurately how profitable each visit/day was.

I know this is an old thread, but is there a way to achieve something like that? Is it in the plan?

Being able to backdate an invoice would be very helpful. For instance, our products were in a holiday popup shop for the entire month of December. We did not receive payment and a list of items sold until January 2. I would like to be able to add those sales to my December 2019 sales for accurate bookkeeping.

Backdating would be helpful in this situation. We received check as payment, so there is no issue with credit card fraud.

Is there a way it can be recorded for 2019 with the current processes?

Hi @omsweetohm - 

Thank you for reaching out to us about that. Right now, we can't backdate invoices. This would fall under a feature request. Keep an eye out for our Product updates!
