[GNC] Invoice Date

[Robert Vander Pyl]

It doesn’t seem to matter what I set as the opening date, IE today is March 5th, I am doing billing until the end of Feb, so I entered Feb 29 as my opening date.  But when I print the invoice it has a date of March 05. I have to set the workstation date of Feb 29 to get that date on the invoice.

(if you check the box to ‘accumulate splits’ you won’t see the line item detail in the relevant accounts, but if you don’t check the box, all line items will show in the transactions in the relevant registers)
