Hi there, rmiga.

 

I understand how inconvenient it is for you to enter the correct date when creating invoices. Allow me to help and make sure the invoice date is set to the current date.

 

When creating the invoice, it should automatically prefill the current date since QuickBooks uses the system's date from your Mac system preferences. To resolve this issue, log out of QuickBooks and go to the Apple menu to automatically set the default date. This also allows us to ensure that the system's date is current.

Here's how:

 

  1. In the Apple menu, click on System preferences.
  2. Select View, then choose the Date & Time.
  3. Enter the administrator name and password if the padlock at the bottom of the window is closed.
  4. Change the date and select Set Date & time automatically to set the date and time according to one of Apple's Network Time Protocol( NTP) servers.
  5. Exit the system preferences then launch QuickBooks.

 

Once done, check the date to see if the date has changed. If it does, QuickBooks will use the updated date for any future transactions.

 

I also recommend that you update QuickBooks Desktop to the latest release so you'll have the latest features and product improvements.
