FAQ - What do the dates on the invoices list mean?

Qargo’s invoice list lets you toggle columns like Creation Date, Invoice Date (Issue Date), Accounting Export Date (formerly Posting Date), Due Date, and Booking Date — each reflecting a different stage in invoicing.

Q. What do the date options in the invoices list view mean? I notice that in the invoice list view, the option for Posting Date no longer shows? What is the Accounting export date option?

A. There are several date options that can be shown in the Invoice list view, depending on what you need to see. We also made a recent update to modify the column header name from Posting Date to Accounting Export Date.

Changing the column name to show Accounting Export Date more accurately reflects the functionality this date represents.

‼️ Name Change Alert ‼️

Posting date = Accounting export date

Issue date = Invoice date

Date columns can be toggled on/off using the 'Edit columns' button. Options include:

  • Creation date/Aanmaakdatum: Actual date invoice was created in the system

  • Invoice Date/Factuurdatum: Date added as the invoice date when creating the invoice.

  • Sent date/Verzenddatum: Date the invoice was sent to the customer

  • Accounting export date/Exportdatum boekhouding: Actual date the invoice was exported / sent to the accounting software (previously 'Posted date')

  • Due date/Vervaldatum: Date invoice payment is due

  • Payment date/Betaaldatum: Date the invoice was marked as paid in the system

  • Booking date/boekingsdatum: This is the date that is sent to the accounting package, it will be the same as the invoice date by default but can be adapted if the invoice needs to be booked in a different period.

    • This field is by INACTIVE by default.

      • To activate Booking field:

        • Navigate to CONFIGURATION > Additional Fields

        • From the INVOICES side menu, select 'Invoices'

        • Click on 'Booking date' and set to Active.
