We will often create an invoice while work is being done, but not send it until the job is completed. This may be several weeks later.

It has occurred a number of times now that we sent an invoice, and just a couple of days later, the late payment notice was triggered because we did not update the invoice date when changing from draft to live invoice.

Of course, this is not very good . . .

At the very least, a warning message to update the invoice date would be very useful.

Or it may make sense to change the invoice date to the date that the invoice is first “made live” by sending it.

Your thoughts?
