Backdate a Loan

Learn how to backdate a loan in Bravo when adjusting for a missed transaction date, including required permissions and best practices.

Last Updated:  3/13/2025

At times, you may need to backdate a loan in Bravo. This feature is typically not enabled by default. To get started, please contact Bravo Support to activate this option for your store.

Consider these points before backdating a loan:
  • The loan date reflects the maturity date you entered, but the loan history records the date the item was entered into the system.
  • Backdating a loan requires going through the tender screen and will result in negative till balances.
  • Consider creating a temporary till or fee to balance this. Bravo Support can assist you.
  • Using Pay Customer with Check as your tender type can help avoid cash balance issues.

Instructions

  • Add the items to the Loan following the process set out for General Merchandise or Jewelry Items.
  • On the Transactions screen select the loan that you want backdate and click the Edit button.
  • Within the Pawn Ticket Detail click on the Back Date Loan button.
  • Enter the loan’s current maturity date and click Ok.
  • The Maturity Date represents the Due Date of the original Loan.
  • The Transactions Screen now reflects that the Loan has been backdated to the new maturity date.
  • Complete the transaction as normal.
  • The Loan's backdating will be reflected in the Loan History in comments.
