Financial Report Date Settings let you standardise how dates filter across all financial reports for every Trust/Client Accounting company in your billing group — choosing between Transaction Date and Processed Date.
Date Type Options
Transaction date — shows activity based on when the transaction occurred. Use this to reflect the economic event date, even if it was recorded later.
Processed date — shows activity based on when your team recorded the transaction in Re-Leased. Use this to align with data entry timing and internal workflows.
How to Configure the Setting
Open Settings in Re-Leased.
Select Financial Reports.
Under Financial reports — All companies, find Report date type.
Choose Transaction date or Processed date.
Click Save.
Note: This setting applies to every company in your billing group.
Affected Reports
This setting controls date handling for: Bank Statement Report, Cash Book Report, Bank Client/Trust Account Reconciliation Report, and Trial Balance Report.
What Happens After Changing the Setting
The new date type applies to future report runs. Historical data is not reclassified — the setting standardises how new and re-run reports filter by date going forward. If a report looks unchanged, try clearing your browser cache and running the report again.
Best-Practice Guidance
Accounting accuracy — use Transaction date to align with standard accounting practice.
Operational tracking — use Processed date to monitor workflow timing and data entry.
System consistency — match the date type used in your other financial systems.
