Why Is the Date I Entered for a Manual Payment Not in My Exports?

When you record an external payment for an open manual invoice, the date you enter in the "Record External Payment" section of the invoice is not the date that appears in your exports.

The Transactions export is based on the transaction creation date, not the date entered for the manual payment. Therefore, a manual payment will appear in the Transactions export on the date you posted it in the Recurly Admin Console, not on the historical date you entered for the payment itself.
