We are relatively new to using Business Central for Accounting system. Our process is to create a Customer (Sales Invoice) and hold the invoice as an unposted Sales Invoice until we are able to send it to the Customer. Mostly that is immediately but sometimes we hold an invoice for a period of time while waiting for an increase to our agreed Not to Exceed Amount or until the Customer sends us their PO#, so there is a difference between the date the invoice is created and the date the invoice is posted. We currently manage this in a manual process of noting the original document date and when we post the invoice and it becomes a Posted Sales Invoice with the document date changing to match the Posted Date as the current date. This is obviously messy and leaves room for human error and manipulation. Every other database system I've ever interacted with has a system controlled "Date Created" but while looking through the fields visible I do not see this field. I feel certain this has to exist but I am confused at hit somehow being unavailable to use for use in tracking when the invoice was actually created.
Also, if this field does exist would it carry from the Sales Invoice to the Posted Sales Invoice?
Thank you for your help.
