Changes have been made to allow users to enter transactions with dates into the future.
Now why would we do that?
It allows you to create a psudeo Accounts Payable system. So, for instance you have received your Insurance bill today, but it's not due for payment for another two weeks. You can enter that Insurance Bill now using the date it is due. This will list the transaction in the system as you receive it, rather than filing it for retrieval later. It also gives you the opportunity to visually see what needs to be paid into the future.
As a forward date transaction that has not yet been paid, the system will display the transaction in RED. So purely from a visual perspective you can quickly glance at your screen and see what amounts are due for payment soon. Once you have made the payment, you simply "Right Click the amount, listed down the expense column, to convert it to a transaction that has been paid. It will then appear as BLACK text.
A couple of things:
The date now appears with the year. You DO NOT need to type the year, unless the year is different. And remember you don't need to type the month in either, if the month is the current month.
The DASHBOARD now reflects "what you owe others" amount, if you choose to use he forward date system.
An "Unpaid Bills Report" will also be available in the coming days. The Report will list all expenses that are unpaid.
You CANNOT post-date a "Money In" transaction.
