Problem: generating bills changes the date of expense slips to the invoice date

SOLVED

Timeslips version 2006; 14.0.0.32

OS: Windows 7 Professional

I've been using TS 2006 for awhile on this workstation without any problems. This last billing cycle, the dates of expense slips were altered to that of the invoice date. So expenses that had been entered mid-month, for example, had their date changed to the beginning of the next month (when invoices were generated, prior to selecting the stage).  And it wasn't just that the dates were incorrect on the invoice. The slips themselves were changed when I looked them up through "Show Slips". 

It only effected expenses however -- timeslip dates and payment dates remained unaffected. It also did not effect any expense slip that had been approved (thankfully).  Is there is some function in TS 2006 that automatically changes the dates of expense slips to that of the invoice generation date, that maybe got accidentally activated?  

I had to approve bills and send them out today, so I set the billing date to the 2nd, which insured that about 50% of the dates were correct. However, as I go back and look through expense slips, it appears that approving the bills created duplicate expense slips for all clients that had expense slips this billing cycle...

    I never heard of Timeslips changing the dates on slips. It sounds as if someone did a mass change of slips. Depending on your set up, you might be able to run an audit trail report to see who did the change.

    Are any of the slips set as RECURRING slips?  It is a little check mark toward the bottom of the slip. That is how recurring slips behave, the date changes to the date of the invoice and then they duplicate themselves so that they appear on the next bill as well.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi Glen,

    I note Nancy has provided your resolution but I just wanted to point out that you are running Timeslips software that is about 9 years old and you are on the initial release of that version.  Just like Windows updates, it is important to apply service releases when they become available.  Unfortunately,service releases are not available directly from Sage for unsupported versions of Timeslips.

    Feel free to reach out to any of the consultants that support this forum for assistance with an upgrade if you are open to it.
