Payment received date on invoices
Invoices now include a payment_received_at field that records when payment was actually received. Your AR and collections reporting can use the date the cash arrived instead of the date the invoice status changed in Orb.
Previously, the API only returned paid_at, which is the time the invoice moved to paid in Orb. For invoices marked as paid manually, that can be a different day from the one your customer actually paid on.
payment_received_at is set as follows:
- Invoices marked as paid manually: the payment date you enter.
- Invoices paid through a payment provider: the time the provider recorded the payment.
- Invoices automatically marked as paid:
null.
paid_at hasn't changed and still shows when the status transition happened.
