Incorrect Ship Date when Printing or Emailing Invoices and Packing Slips

After upgrading to Sage 50 2015.1, people will find that when leaving the shipping date blank and print or email a sales invoice or a packing slip, the printout will show a shipping date as of Jan 01, 1901.

We are aware of this issue and we have already reported it to R&D department for fixing in the future release.  We apologize for the inconvenience. 

In the meantime, please use the alternatives below.

  1. If your company uses Shipping Dates, in the sales invoice screen, please manually type in the date you would like to use

  2. if your company never uses Shipping Dates, please remove the shipping date field on the sales invoice form template.  For more information of how to remove a data field on a form template, please read KB10084 How to customize forms to modify text, data, images or add a company logo, on how to delete the field

  3. If your Shipping Date is always the same as the invoice date, change the Ship Date field to Date field in the form template.  Again, you can do this by reading KB 10084 in method 2.

Again, we apologize for the inconvenience.  We thank you for your patience and understanding.
