Hi all,
We've recently upgraded a couple of customers to Opera 3 v2.98.20. One of them has queried a "new" message which appears when posting sales receipts or purchase payments if the transaction date differs to the system date.
I understand what Pegasus have tried to do here, which is make it clear to the end user that the allocation date will be set as per the system date and the transaction date will remain as entered. I don't think the message is worded particularly well. I understand the reason is for Retrospective reporting purposes.
This customer has complained because this message appears everytime you post a receipt or payment where the transaction date is different to the system date. Prior to v2.98.20 it only used to appear when you posted future dated cash dated transactions, although the behaviour in the tables has not changed.
There is no way to switch this off so the only options are to either accept the message each time (making it null and void for this customer as they won't read it they will just hit enter) or change your system date every time you post a cash transaction.
This particular customer runs multiple different companies in Opera and often works behind.
I feel that with OPA/RTU it isn't really necessary to change your system date as much as you used to have to and now with the introduction of this message you either have to or accept you will see this message for each cash transaction you post which doesn't match your system date.
Has anyone else had any complaints about this one yet?
Cheers,
Alex
