I recently started a new position here and the account has been receiving payments and entering the date on the check for the Check Date. This makes sense since the posting date shows when the check is received. However we have another software program that only shows the paid date. They've been entering this as the date on the check as well. Obviously this is making it difficult to run my commission reports for sales since payments are made based on the month we received the payment, not when the check was written.
If the paid date is updated in our ERP software to reflect the date the payment was received does it make sense to update the check date in Quickbooks to the date the payment was received as well? I feel like it would be easier to reconcile the differences this way, and I can't think of a situation where the date the check was written would be useful.
Thanks for your input.
