Xero Expenses - Default to today's date for receipts if date is missing
If Xero Expenses' OCR reader doesn't find a date in a photo/receipt, it sets it as 19 Feb 2022 (from reviewing a number of Expenses in my organisation submitted in December 2022 that don't have visible dates).
It would be more helpful to set the date as the day the Expense was initially created.
The submitter is likely to have incurred the Expense on the day they take a photo of the receipt.
As it currently is, if a period isn't locked and the Approver isn't checking dates, they may inadvertently post entries to the wrong period, even a historical/filed period.
