Item Receipts dates changes to current date when Bill is entered

It seems you're facing an issue in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) where the dates of your item receipts change to the current date when you enter a Bill for the received items, @KAO2411. This can occasionally happen and may impact your record-keeping. I want to ensure that I can help you rectify this situation.

If you're using the Enter Bill for Received Items option from the Vendors menu, the Use item receipt date for the bill date may have been inadvertently unticked. You can follow these steps to resolve this:

1. In your QBDT, go to the Vendors menu.
2. Choose Enter Bill for Received Items.
3. Pick a Vendor from the drop-down list.
4. Ensure placing a checkmark for the Use item receipt date for the bill date option.
5. Select the item receipt that corresponds to your bill.
   

    

Alternatively, enter the bill for the received items from within the item receipt. You can follow these steps:

1. Go to the Vendors menu. Then, click on the vendor where the item receipt is recorded.
2. Locate and double-click the item receipt.
3. Tick the Bill Received box to enter the bill for the received items.
   

    

If you have followed these steps and encountered the same issue, use the verify tool to check for problems with your company file, and use the rebuild tool to fix them. Refer to this article for the detailed steps: Verify and Rebuild Data in QuickBooks Desktop.
