Do you change item descriptions on invoice, orders or quotes to include dates of service? If your customers need the exact date of service in the invoice detail, you probably spend lots of time editing the same descriptions over and over, just to put in the current date.

Now you can bill for services and use SDS - Sales Invoice Date Stamp to automatically include the current date as date of service in the extended description of service or product items!

After installing SDS - Sales Invoice Date Stamp, add "MM/DD/YY" in the extended description of the inventory items that you want to include date of service. You must enter the "MM/DD/YY" using all capital letters but you do not need to enter the quotes. To change an Inventory Item's extended description, select Maintain Inventory items from the Inventory Maintenance programs, then enter MM/DD/YY in the text as shown below:
