Hi Tony,
This was actually changed a few years back now to default to the current date as users found that when they received payment, they would naturally add it to the system that day.
Changing this back again would obviously be a big change across the application, so we will have to gather further opinion.
Many thanks for getting in touch

I would also like this. Surely we could have a user selectable option for the default setting? That way users with different needs can set it accordingly. Alternatively, how about a button for "same as purchase date" or "same as invoice date"?
