Enter dates

Accounting CS

offers several options for entering dates.

Select

or use F4 in any date field to open a calendar.

To change a date by 1 day:

In a grid: Use CTRL++ to move forward or CTRL+– to move backward.

Outside a grid: Use ↑ or CTRL++ to move forward, or ↓ or CTRL+– to move backward.

Enter 1 or 2 digits: The system adds the current month and year. Example: Entering 15
becomes 2/15/16
(if today is February 19, 2016).

Enter 3 or 4 digits: The system interprets this as month and day, adding the current year. Example: Entering 215
becomes 2/15/16
.

For months with fewer than 31 days, entering 31
automatically selects the last day of the month.

If you enter an invalid date (like 45
for the day), the field will remain blank or show (none)
.
