FAQs

1. Why is the default date set to today’s date?

The default date ensures quick and seamless invoice generation for most users who typically invoice on the same day of the transaction.

2. Can I change the invoice date after saving the invoice?

Yes, but only if no payments are linked to the invoice. If there are linked payments, you’ll need to remove them temporarily to edit the date

3. What if the Edit button isn’t visible?

Ensure you’re on the latest version of the app and that your invoice sync is complete. Contact support if the issue persists.

4. Is it possible to backdate invoices?

Yes, myBillBook allows backdating. However, compliance with local tax regulations must be ensured before making such changes.

5. Can I change the invoice date for all invoices at once?

No, invoice dates must be edited individually to maintain data integrity.
