what is the best practice for dealing with vendor bill date mismatches. i want to be able to do saved searches to be able pick up all invoices within a month that was posted to the month

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Based on the conversations, the best practice for dealing with vendor bill date mismatches is to allow the mismatch but ensure that everyone's preference is set to 'Report By Period' is always. This is because there are valid scenarios where the transaction date and posting period will be different. For instance, if you receive a Vendor Bill in January 2022 but it is dated December 2021 (which is already closed), you would use the actual date that may result in a mismatch. To pick up all invoices within a month that was posted to the month, you can create a saved search. This will allow you to easily identify any transactions that have a date and period mismatch. Also, it's important to note that some things should never have a date period mismatch, like Cash/Bank accounts. In addition, there is a preference in the accounting preferences section that allows you to create and save transactions with data and period mismatch. Lastly, it's worth noting that the posting date drives terms discounts. Therefore, allowing period date mismatch can be beneficial in certain scenarios. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
