I was asked to provide a copy of an invoice issued last year, when I pulled up last years file and went to print the 2019 invoice, it had inserted today’s date on the invoice? Whereas I wanted to have the original issue date. Is there an option I am forgetting to set up?

I think if you key in a date on the billing worksheet it will retain that date. If you leave the date blank, I think it uses the current date when it is reprinted.

That makes sense.
