This function works as designed to prevent duplicate transactions in your records. Thus, you’ll have to manually change the dates (Bill date and Due date).

 

The Copy option allows you to copy all details of the transaction except the transaction dates. In your case, you’ll have to manually change the Bill date and set it to the previous date. Then, the Due date automatically follows the Bill date since you use the Due on receipt as the Terms

 

After saving the copied bill with the updated information, you can record the bill payment.
