Receivables reports say "Includes old documents dated before go-live", and the books reports say "Books start on [date]. Old documents dated before that are not included."

Known issues​

Sales by Customer and Sales by Item include pre-go-live invoices (be#7583). Treat their totals as including the old system's sales around go-live. Related, with no note on screen: Supplier Spend Analysis, the BizView sales and purchase charts and the dashboard revenue chart include old invoices and bills, so the dashboard revenue chart can differ from Profit and Loss income for months around go-live.

On the mobile app​

The same reports run on the phone, except the Opening balance check. Same on iPhone and Android.
