This message appears when saving an invoice that is marked as Delivered<\/strong> while the Received Date<\/strong> field is empty. When an invoice is marked as delivered, the date on which the client received the goods must be entered, so the system refuses to save the invoice until this field is filled in.<\/p>\n

Note:<\/strong> The received date is the date the goods were delivered to the client, and it may differ from the invoice date. Enter it precisely because it is used to follow the invoices’ delivery status.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
