Bills - Automatically adjust the date on imported draft bills to a set date
We use Xero on top of a project management system (Deltek PIM) which generates employee expenses and supplier invoices. When we export them to Xero they sit as draft bills which we approve. If users of PIM enter an invoice/expense for a prior period, the transaction has to be redated in Xero to prevent it changing the historic management accounts. My suggestion is that there is an option within Draft Bills that would redate draft transaction dates (before posting) to a given date, say 1st of the open period.
We've reviewed your idea to adjust the date on imported bills to a set date automatically. It's now up to the community to get behind and support it. Make sure you share your idea with any colleagues that this could benefit so they can add their vote too!

I would love to be able to set a particular month when entering data. All the purchase invoices arrive at the beginning of the next month and I have to keep changing the day and month. Just being able to change the day would save time. Also when copying an invoice why not keep the date the same as the date on the invoice you are copying, in that way I could use that facility to enter all of one particular month's invoices.
