When entering an invoice in accounts payable we need the post date to default to the date we enter the invoice. If an invoice is dated in a prior period (as most are) then we constantly need to override the post date each time. This is causing incorrect posting dates when this gets missed.
I just got off the phone with a customer service rep to see how I could make the day of entering the invoice the default date and he said that wasn't an option. I honestly could not believe it, I've been working as a Controller/CFO for over 20 years now and never seen this type of flaw. We are spending so much money on a system that's supposed to make our life easier; there should never be this type of flaw in the system that can easily affect prior financial statements that have already been closed. Now I have to manually adjust and explain the off balances in my AP to our auditor because of this flaw.
This is a serious flaw in the Accounts Payable software resulting in invoices being posted to prior periods or else needs to be fixed manually. This needs to be a priority to get fixed.
