I prepare my invoices on a Sunday and save as drafts ready to email on Monday, I also export a PDF copy for my records. Lately when I email them the invoice date has changed to the Saturdays date, does anyone know how to stop this from happening?

I'm here to help share insights about your invoices, @jacquibarker-out.

I wanted to make sure we are on the same page so I recreated your invoices based on how you described them. And to my surprise, it did change the invoice date after sending it and went back a day before the actual sales date.

We don't have the option to stop this from happening as part of the program design since it was created from a draft. Instead, consider editing the said invoice by sending a new reminder and make sure to let your client know about the changes of the date. I'll show you how.

1. Go to Invoices.
2. From the list of transactions, find the invoice in question.
3. Under ACTION, select the Mark as paid selection menu.
4. Select Edit.
5. Enter the correct date accordingly.
6. On the Message text field, type in the changes made to the date.
7. Click Send reminder.
