Topic: Due date: force?

Hi fellas
Just wondering, can the due date be forced to be a certain date?
When I make a direct invoice, despite having a 'pay within 14 days' payment terms, and setting a historic date, it overrides to make the due date '14 days from now', not from the invoice issue date.
Is there a way to do this (I can't recall this happening in older versions?).

Hello Pete,
Long time no see. smile

If you change the invoice date to an older/future value the due date should follow. It is always based on the invoice date. You have tab away from the invoice date field to get any effect.

Hi Joe
Still here.  Back in FA again, after using it non-stop of course!
I just sent you a version 2.33 updated Australian chart of accounts/Australian tax setup file.

I'll also send you a revised 'delete all transactions' script for 2.33 too. Strictly for the technical people, and useful for testing.

See you round here in the next few days...
Pete

Re: Due date: force?

Might be doing something wrong here.
I tried manually setting it, tabbing out etc.
It still defaults to 14 days from now, not the invoice date on the Invoice report.

I'm using:
After No. of Days     14 days
as the payment term. Is this correct?

When I check the debtor_trans table, there are two entries:
A type 10 with the incorrect due date AND
A type 13 with the correct due data.
I figure the invoice report picks up the type 10 info.

I only need to do this for a few invoices - is it OK to simply SQL 0_debtor_trans 'due date' field, or does the due date get used elsewhere in the system?
Tks
Pete

Re: Due date: force?

Hello again. There is no join between the due_date field in debtor_trans and other tables. So it should be risk-free to do the SQL.

I will have another look into this subject you describe.

Re: Due date: force?

You are right Pete. I have asked Janusz to fix this item.

Re: Due date: force?

Hi Pete,
The bug was fixed, unfortunately already after today's release, so you have to wait for next minor version, or just download changed cart_class.inc file from FA hg repo.
