Symptom
Requesting a new advance, set the pay date field to a future date and this resets to to the request date after saving the information.
Reproducing the Issue
Request a new advance with a future date.
After saving this or approving the workflow. The date field will reset to the requested date. In the example below the field resets to the date of which it is requested.
Cause
This is how it's designed and is an expected behavior by default. Pay date field should not be enabled in UI. If enabled, this field always defaults the value from the “request date” field.
Resolution
It is possible to create a save rule on Non-Recurring payment object to default Issue/Pay date = NonRecurring payment.Advance.Request date
But please note that the advance installments are always created from coming month and not based on the as of date set in the request date and issue dates.
We can preclose and request advance again on current date but not from future date due to above caveat. Hence, its not possible to request advance on future dates after preclosure.
