Including a date in client invoice header or footer text

When entering text for the client invoice header or footer, you can include a date that Ajera automatically updates for you.

For example, you may want to print the current billing cutoff date in header text as follows: Professional services through 11/30/2010.

In the > Setup > Company > Preferences > Billing tab > Invoice Header Text field or Invoice Footer Text field, enter the text and the correct Ajera database name for the date. For the billing cutoff date, the database name is [gInvoiceCutoffDate].

For example, you type the following in the field: Professional services through [gInvoiceCutoffDate]

For this example, the billing cutoff date is 11/30/2010, so this prints on the invoice: Professional services through 11/30/2010.

Unless you specify a specific date format, Ajera formats the date as mm/dd/yyyy such as 11/30/2010.

For example, [gInvoiceCutoffDate-fMMMM dd,yyyy] results in a date formatted as follows: November 30, 2010.

You must enter the date format options exactly as shown, in uppercase or lowercase:
