New Feature - Close Off Date

Posted on September 14, 2016
In RentHQ we have added a new close off date. The close off date is any date which you can set by going to the Functions/Setup/Options screen.  (It defaults to 1/1/2000). Once the close-off date is set, this effectively locks any transactions prior to this date.  This means you will not be able to edit or delete any transaction with a date prior to the close off date.  You will also not be able to create a new transaction with a date prior to the close off date (except for transaction imports).  Not only does this apply to transactions in the cashbook, but the same also applies to extra charges, extra fees and disbursements as well. The primary intention of this feature is for people who know they have finished their transactions and want to make sure someone does not accidentally change or delete any of them.  If you really did need to change one of those transaction, you can change the close off date, and then change it back again after your modifications are complete.
