    Hi

     

    Actually System date needs to change.

     

    Note: There is no any change to do back dated purchase using API. So needs to change system date.

     

    Thanks in advance

     

    Regards

      I think setting the system time is outside of the normal wheel house for what groovy scripts can do. That being said, you might be able to write an external process (.sh file or some such) that handles that, and set up a groovy script to launch that file as an external process.
