For example, if you enter 05/20/06 or a date range of 01/01/2006 12/31/2006, then this will be the recorded date, no matter how much time has passed. Document dates are fixed dates; but most allow you to change the date while creating it (subject to security rights).</p>

As the Point of Sale date changes, so does the dynamic dates. Dynamic dates are typically used to define date ranges for filtering lists and for reporting purposes.</p>
