Invoice Backdate
Overview
In Odoo, invoices, bills, credit notes, debit notes, and payments are always recorded using the current system date — and Odoo does not allow changing this confirmation date afterward. This module removes that limitation by allowing you to validate invoices and payments with a custom backdate. You can assign any date you want and optionally provide reasons for tracking purposes.
The module also supports mass backdate assignment, allowing you to update multiple invoices or payments at once. During bulk backdating, the wizard prompts for reasons (optional or mandatory, based on configuration). All selected dates and reasons automatically flow into the related journal entries, ensuring accurate accounting records and complete audit transparency.
