Clarification on the Ability to Edit POS Invoice Date When Creating It
In POS, you cannot manually edit the invoice date while creating it.
POS invoices are automatically issued with the date and time of the moment when the invoice was created.
This behavior is normal and intentional, and does not indicate a problem with the system.
Why Can’t You Change the POS Invoice Date?
-
POS invoices are issued instantly
-
The system relies on the current date and time when creating the invoice
-
Therefore, there is no option to edit the date within the POS application
What Should I Do If I Need an Invoice with an Old Date?
If you need to:
-
Record an invoice with a previous date
-
Or edit the invoice date
You can do this directly from the website (the accounting system), not from the POS application.
Important Notes About Dates in POS

If you notice that the POS invoice date is incorrect:
-
Check the date and time settings on your POS device

-
Is not connected to the internet
-
The system relies on the device’s own date
-
