I marked an invoice that was paid by check.  But the payment date is today, instead of when they paid.  How do I change that so my report is accurate?

I agree.  Adding payments to invoices, there should be a way to enter the date the payment was received not the current date (or date of entry).

I see that this has not yet been addressed. After writing in this community almost two years ago, I have subscribed to Zoho's suite of products, including Zoho Books which is very user-friendly and sufficiently powerful for small business needs.

I have the same issue and came here to find that there is no answer to my question other than I am SOL.  

Please add function to update date on paid invoices. So annoying a payment made last year is mixed with this year's revenue. I will probably go to QuickBooks because of this.

I understand that because Square is a credit card processor that dates and times cannot be modified for credit and debit card transactions... however being able to change the date/time that a cash or check payment is made on an invoice is very simple and should 100% be a feature. To appease Square/the powers that be and still making the record of payment accurate I might suggest that invoices show the recorded payment date/time which will not be able to be changed vs the received date that absolutely needs to have an option to change by the user! This is going to cause a big issue with my books because I received a check for an invoice December 2022 and want it recorded in 2022, instead Square is recording it when I was open for business again in January 2023. So not only will it affect my 2022 books - I will have to remember next tax year to deduct the payment from Square 2023's reports! 

Thanks for the response to this question. However, this isn't just a "feature request," entering the true date a payment was received is a requirement for any accounting system. There is a distinct difference between the requirements of recording an electronic transaction and those for catching up with payments where a check was received.

If Square is going to offer a method of marking an invoice as "paid," then the user needs to have control over the date used in recording the payment. People who use bookkeeping services once or a few times a week would naturally want to record the date a check was received accurately. Surely that makes sense—a manager may make copies of any checks received and deposit those immediately, leaving the records for a bookkeeper to enter later. Thanks.

Wow! Unbelievable.. This is still an issue.
This is not a feature request by any means. It is a failure in function. With another half-dozen items that are failures, I find Square Invoicing lacking and will be moving on to a better solution. Sad, too. It's such a graceful interface, imo.
