Why is the default general entry date As at today’s date as virtually no journals I dated on the day they prepared. The date should be either the last date used as they are normally done at month or year end.. or if this is not possible to have no default at all forcing the user to enter the correct journal date for each entry
Hi applus,
I've tried to replicate this issue and did not encounter any problems. The date that will reflect in our system is the correct journal date. I recommend clearing your AccountRight cache to avoid any software discrepancies.

I know it shows the correct journal that I input, but why does it not default to that same date for the next journal entry, as we always have several journal entries to post as at the same month end date, or year end date. To default to today's date after posting one journal entry is very archaic. It is often too easy to overlook changing the date of the journal entry when posting it, which means that the transactions end up in the wrong period.
If this can't easily be changed, it would even be better to have NO default date at all, forcing the user to enter the correct date for each journal entry.
99% of all journal entries are either as at month end or year end. In 40 years as a chartered accountant, I have never had the need to enter today's date on a journal entry. Wy does MYOB not recognise this to help avoid the transactions appearing in the wrong period ?
I have employed several bookkeepers over this period and they often forget to alter the date of the journal entry.

Hi tonymac,
I see how easily a simple piece of information like the date can be overlooked and the benefits of automatically saving the date of your last entry. However, some users enter their transactions in real time, which benefits from the current setup of the application. I recommend posting this suggestion on the Ideas Exchange board for other users to vote on for future updates.
Cheers,
