I keep getting the select a date that's after the date I started tracking an inventory item. Why, when I did do all of that?

Thank you, @Myria30, for bringing this to our attention. Let's work together to resolve it.

To begin with, the error you've encountered is likely because the expense was entered before the "as of" date of 4/1, which should be set after the as of date. To verify, I recommend checking your inventory item setup date and verifying that the expense date is accurate.

If everything is correct, please check your date format in the Advanced column under Account and Settings, as an incorrect date format could be causing the issue. Here’s how to do that:

1. Click on Settings in the upper right corner.
2. Under Your Company, select Account and Settings.
3. In the Advanced column, click on Other preferences.
4. Change the Date format to mm/dd/yyyy.
5. Click Save and then Done.
