Reporting dates vary across companies
Use Financial Report Date Settings to standardise how dates filter across all financial reports for every company in your billing group. Choose a single date type so your portfolio reports stay consistent and easy to compare.
Note: This feature does not apply to customers in North America.
Select the report date type
Transaction date: Show activity based on when the transaction happened. Use this to reflect the economic event date, even if you recorded it later.
Processed date: Show activity based on when your team recorded the transaction in Re-Leased. Use this to align with data entry timing and internal workflows.
Configure the global setting
- Open Settings in Re-Leased.
- Select Financial Reports.
- In the Financial reports - All companies section, find Report date type.
- Choose Transaction date or Processed date from the list.
- Select Save to apply the setting.

This setting applies to every company in your billing group.
Confirm the affected reports
This setting controls date handling for these financial reports:
- Bank statement report
- Cash book report
- Bank client/trust account reconciliation report
- Trial balance report
Report outputs do not update after you change the setting
The system applies the new date type to future report runs across your companies. Reports may look unchanged if the browser caches an older view or if you are reviewing historical periods.
Understand how changes apply
The setting does not change how historical data appears in reports. It standardises how new and re-run reports filter by date going forward.
Refresh the browser and rerun reports
- Run the report again using the same filters and the new date type.
- Clear your browser cache if the report still shows the old date handling.
- Open the report once more to confirm the updated results.
