When orders are imported the system should not change doc date

When we import orders data using a template file the idea is that users should be able to open the orders and process them easily without further manipulation.

What Sage 200 does is that after importation the document date like invoice date is automatically changed to today's date. But when user has prepared the template they may have given different invoice dates because say they are importing data for a whole month of invoicing as one templare file using the import option in Sage 200.

So now the user has to keep changing the date of each invoice before posting them and that is inconvenient, time wasting and prone to errors.

My idea is you can provide a check box in the Order preferences or defaults where we can specify whether date whould be retained when an order is opened or should it be overridden at the time of processing. This way it can work as a particular company requires as per their business process.
