In invoice.scm the date is inserted via make-date-row!, which is called
around line 725.  But this only prints the Post Date and Due Date.  It
does not print the "current date".

I didn't write the "easy invoice".  The Date and Due Date are printed
around line 800 in that report.

You would have to modify the report scheme code to remove that.
