Order & Invoice date

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 10

Hello,

We have the following issue : 

When creating an order on for example June 14 and we book it on July 14, the invoice date is not updated to July 14, it remains on June 14 !

Is this a known issue ? 

Our setting for posting date are  :

    There was a post recently from other users where it was asked how the dates should work and there was really no consensus.

    However, you can always post to BCideas, your request for a change in how the dates work. And Microsoft does look at the bcideas and which ones have been voted on for what they will include in upcoming releases.

    Thank you very much!!!  I appreciate your contribution to the Dynamics community.

    My apologies to everyone for ranting!  I wasn't really emotional, just thought maybe a theatrical appeal to Microsoft might twist their arm.

    Who knows if they're watching?

    Grace and peace to you.

    I could use your extension...we are now two years after the original forum message thread and I think Microsoft should have addressed this as a basic function in BC. An option to make the "invoice date" the date when "Ship and Invoice" posting a sales order.

    Seems dumb that the "DUE DATE" for an invoice on "Due on Receipt" deliveries is already 5 days overdue the day product goes out the door for delivery without MANUALLY changing the date when posting a 6-day old sales order to invoice.  This affects the majority of our orders, few of them deliver the same day a sales order is created.  We run the credit card on many of these orders the day our delivery truck drops the shipment, yet they'll show as late payments in the metrics.

    Your email address listed "hallo@macali.dk" bounced.  Are you still giving out your extension?

    Thanks!

    RE: Order & Invoice date

    This answers the question of why Dynamics 365 Business Central makes the invoice date something *DUMB!* when invoicing days/week/a month after a sales order is created.

    There should be a selection of choices for the default invoice date for when BC posts a sales order subsequent to when the SO was created.  As a food distributor, we need the invoice date to be when the product is sent out the door...and by default, for us, this is the day we post a sales order to an invoice - NOT THE DATE THE SALES ORDER WAS CREATED (sometimes) A WEEK PREVIOUS. To have to install an extension to "fix" this functionality is very klunky for something that should be built in.

    We used to use NAV 2012 and this wasn't a problem.  Will Microsoft put this on a list of up-and-coming features?  This is basic and a common need.  We used the old system for many years, the invoicing girls don't even think of changing the invoice date when posting our sales orders and I don't think they should have to on nearly every order.

    ALL of our orders start off as a sales order, and then we pick the order touching it up with product shorts before invoicing.

    I find it crazy this is the only forum message thread related to this issue that I can easily find doing a search (I'm not ranting at you personally, please understand *smile*).
