Why can't customers select dates before the current day when receiving vendor invoices against created/sent purchase orders?

Problem

When trying to receive a purchase order, dates before today's date are not selectable. This happens because the receive date cannot be before the sent date of the purchase order.

Solution

Adjust the sent date within a purchase order to resolve issues related to receiving vendor invoices against purchase orders.

Adjusting Purchase Order Sent Date for Receiving

You need to do this:

1. Go to the purchase order that you are trying to receive.

2. From the Actions dropdown, select Edit.

3. Find the Sent Date field.

4. Change the sent date to a date before the date you want to receive the purchase order.

5. Save your changes.

6. Try to receive the purchase order again.

Note: You should be able to select a date that falls before today's date, as long as it is after the new sent date you set.

By following these steps, you can resolve the issue and select the desired date for receiving vendor invoices against purchase orders.
