Missing a day is one of the most common scenarios in real shop life. The kitchen was slammed, the till broke, you closed late and forgot. Backdating recovers all of this — you can jump to any past date and log entries against it as if you'd done it that night.
01 How do I backdate an entry?
- 1Open Revenue
The calendar at the top of the page shows the current week.
- 2Click the date you missed
Last Thursday, last Tuesday, anything in range.
- 3Add the entry normally
Cash, card, save. Or product sale, quantity, save.
- 4Switch back to today
Click today's date in the calendar — back to where you started.
02 How far back can I backdate?
There's no soft limit — you can backdate to last year if you have the data. The only hard limit is that entries dated before your account creation date are rejected (to prevent obvious mistakes).
For long backfills (more than a week's gap), see Catching up after a busy week for the efficient pattern.
03 What recomputes when I backdate?
Adding an entry to last Thursday updates last week's P&L view, the monthly P&L for that month, the yearly P&L, and any Statistics insight that uses that date range. What it doesn't touch is the current period — today's tile and this week's strip stay exactly as they were, so backdating never pollutes your current-period numbers. The full list is below.
