Allow End of Financial Year to be before Proposal Start Date

We have legacy clients where we did not charge catchup for the accounts. We also might have a commercial reason for including a year end say the day before the start of the proposal in this year's invoices and payments.

We can now not use key dates for renewals for these clients.

For example year end 31/7/22 and Proposal start date 1/8/22.

It could be a warning. And allow an override instead of just stopping you doing it.

    My concern with this is that the paragraph in the engagement letter states that the Start Date in the proposal is the fallback start date of the engagement.


    Period of Engagement

    The date that we have agreed to start providing the individual agreed services is set out in the key dates schedule below or if not provided here, the start date of this proposal.

    I don't want to be quoting for 2 years worth of accounts at the same time.

    Since I posted this I realise it is a more fundamental issue. If we have legacy clients where we did not align our annual fixed fees with the accounts year end we cannot use the dates properly for renewals and engagement letters. There should be the ability to produce a one year proposal starting and ending on the proposal date for the monthly/quarterly items and named dates for annual services.
