Hi All, does anyone know if there is a setting available to make invoices created from a sales order to keep the same date that is on the sales order? e.g. if I create a sales order on 10/08 and invoice it on 10/10, the invoice is automatically created with the 10/10 date. I would like for the date 10/08 in this scenario.

@Ed You can make the 'Date' field editable by creating a custom form and then edit it manually how you want. And pretty easily at that point, you can also create a Suitescript to lookup the data from the linked Sales Order, and source it into the Date field (I suggest this option if you are at all familiar with scripting)
As a note, there may or may not be restrictions based on when things like work orders and item fulfillments were dated... I haven't tested that.

That is not a best practice. Invoices have legal implications and payment implications. What if you have multiple shipments across multiple weeks then when is the payment triggered? When do warranties kick in?

Thank you @Michael Pope. That is helpful. @Chap Moore, you bring up some good points, so definitely something we will need to consider.
