Post Date Entered

Use the Edit Post Date Entered Activity dialog box to specify the criteria for determining whether a user established a post-dated transaction payment arrangement for an account during a specified time period. Determination begins when the account reaches this activity. Post-dated transactions include post-dated checks, paper draft, ACH, or credit cards. Post-dated transactions that a user added previously do not evaluate to true.
