Most of our invoices are paid on a service contract. We currently have licenses and subscriptions that are annual invoices (usually related to software) on a contract with lines for specific budget years. The date on the contract line is for the specified budget year. Often these invoices come to us months prior to the service period related to the invoice with a deadline before the beginning date of the service period. If we enter the invoice date on the invoice when received, we receive an error that the invoice is not in the contract line date range. If we try to enter the service period beginning date for the invoice date, we receive an error that we cannot pay an invoice with an advanced date. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get around this issue without amending the date range on the contract? Is there a way to change the date the contract "looks at" when we pay an invoice to post date rather than invoice date? Thanks for any suggestions you may have!
