so your employees have some reading difficulties it seems ;-)
I can see how this would happen though. easy enough mistake to make i would think.
making it red or whatever is not going to work (for several reasons), but maybe some additional text like: “not today” or “future order” or something after the date if it’s not for today might work.
will put this on my ideas/improvements list, but can’t give you any ETA as to when this might be available at the moment
