Hi Edward

You can begin by emailing me one of the reports. It's a fairly simple change to use the invoice date field instead of the item date field.

You can also do what I suggested in my first reply, using the Update Archive Batches function.

The item date has nothing to do with inventory. Inventory uses the invoice date when importing shipments from Invoices.

For the normal Invoices user, if they are going to bother entering an item date, they will most likely want it to be different than the invoice date. Otherwise, there's no point to using the field. So your use is non-standard. The most typical example is to put labor charges on an invoice.

I can't answer the question about going back, it's the absolute last option and not something I would ever recommend.
