When entering the date, have the current year defaulted so you don't continuously have to enter "16" at the end of each date

When processing a number of transactions (it doesn't matter if it a/p, a/r, etc.  Have the date automatically default to the current year.  eg. if you're entering an a/p invoice you should only have to enter the month and day and have the year default to the current year and allow for override if necessary.  This would save a great number of processing keystrokes

    Nearly 5 years old. The software knows what year it is. We should only be enter the month and day and it should auto-fill the rest. If we are putting items in for a prior (or future) year, we can type in the full date. Please make this change.

    Having to enter just the month and day would be AWESOME!  I frequently have to enter item in the previous month anyway.

    Maxwell had that.... you could type 4/26 and it filled to 4/26/2017. If you wanted to change the year you simply typed in 4/26/2016 and it did that. Accounts Payable and Payroll are a real pain with having to change the date for every entry. Please fix this!!!

    I agree, accept I would like to only enter the day of the current month.....18 for 08/18/16 and if I need the previous/next month manually type it in. Most of us enter time cards, a/p, a/r, etc. in the current month. Typing two numbers instead of six would be a giant time saver.

    I agree, but have the option to change is necessary.
