[GNC] Payment month after reconcile

[Adrien Monteleone]

Thanks for that info Michael,

Certainly, closing dates are guessed and probably attempt something like the end of the previous month if close enough to the start of the next one, mid month otherwise. (might be the case for the OP’s notice of the 16th being chosen)

As for default suggested payment dates, I guess that’s still an unknown, though ‘current’ date as you mention (and as happens with the business features) would seem a sane default choice the user could always override.

Any insight you can offer on your next reconciliation would be helpful in either pinning this down as a bug/enhancement opportunity or a case for updating the documentation.

Regards,
Adrien

As I know I always have to change it, I haven’t paid much attention to the date offered, but I think it’s “today’s date” - I couldn’t swear that a date before today’s doesn’t occur (as in the OP’s case), but I don’t believe I’ve seen that.
