We are using Quik Invoice 6.5A (000201).
We have exported the header file and
detail file through Quik Reports. We find
that the header record date and the detail
record(s) date is different for most
documents.

Our reports based on document header
date differ from those based on document
detail date(s).

Should the header file and the detail
records not have the same date?

Is there a fix for this problem?

Thanks, Roger

Hi Roger,

First of all, we'd need to determine whether the issue is related to the entry/posting of invoices in Quik Invoice, or the report coming from Quik Reports. Go into Quik Invoice, and determine if the invoice date matches the date on the item. When entering invoices, all date fields default to the date you logged into the program with.

If you find that the dates for the header and detail are different, then the problem is related to the batch entry. Were the invoices manually entered, restored from archive, imported from another system, etc? Is your report based on open, archive, or history invoices?

If you create a new invoice, check whether the dates indeed are the same. They should default to being the same, but can be edited to different values.

If the dates are the same, then the problem would be due to how the report is formatted in Quik Reports. Make sure that the fields you are using to print the different dates are in fact correct. Quik Reports will only print what it reads, and not modify or change the data. If you haven't already, print preview the report in Quik Reports (ie print to screen instead of exporting)to see what the dates look like. If they are correct on the preview, then the QR export is related. Please note that export formats are controlled by the version of the Windowing System Manager you have, not by Quik Reports.

If you wish to follow up with this, please re-post here whether this issue is related to the dates not matching on the invoice in Quik Invoice, or if it's a report issue in Quik Reports.
