Overdue days, paid dates and date validation

Dates determine overdue status and the month cash activity appears in.

Steps

  1. Check the computer's current date if overdue status is unexpected.
  2. An unpaid balance becomes overdue after the due date. An invoice due today has zero overdue days.
  3. A due date cannot precede the invoice date; a received-payment date cannot precede its invoice date.
  4. An expense's paid date must be on or after its expense date. Cash activity uses the paid date when the expense is marked paid.
  5. Use the original correct business dates. Supported record dates run from 1900 through 2200.

Check that it worked

A January 31 due date with an unpaid balance is ten days overdue on February 10.
