    I have some customers who pay by check rather than credit card billing.
    Is there a way to generate invoices a few days earlier than the 1st and have it post date to the 1st of the following month? Lets say I want to generate invoices on the 21st of August but actually have the invoice date be September 1st. This would give them time to send the check in the mail but have it posted to the correct month since it is a prepay.

    The only way to do that would be to alter the date on the computer that was generating the invoices.

    Are there any cons to changing the date? Will it affect the credit card invoices other than to make it look like I generated invoices on the 1st?

    Shawn, give me your opinion on how I should be handling check paying customers.

    It will not hurt anything by pre-dating things. Personally, I would simply set invoices to generate a few days earlier by default under the accounts preferences. Then you don't need to worry about pre-dating your computer or anything.

    Ok, I will set to generate a few days earlier and see how that works.
    Is that under account types, column 1?

    Also how can I force the due date to be the 1st on these early generated invoices? Won't the due date be the same as the generated invoice date?

    Thanks again shawn

    Right, it's column 1.

    Due dates can be set based on your settings under the invoicing preferences.
