The Purchased At field sets the purchase date for a product unit, which determines when it becomes available for orders. Backdating this field allows you to create orders starting before the product was added to the system. This is useful for aligning records with historical purchase dates, tracking depreciation, or managing inventory availability.

Instructions:
1. Navigate to Inventory > Products and click on the product name you’d like to edit.
2. Click on the Product Units tab.
3. Click + Add to add a new unit, or click the ellipses (⋮) on an existing unit to edit it.
4. Locate the Purchased At field and click into the box to update it using the calendar that will appear. Click Save after any changes have been made.
Note: All Purchased At values for existing product units default to their creation date, while newly added units automatically default to the current date. You can backdate any unit to accurately reflect previous purchase dates and orders.
