## What's new

- **Scheduled dates on payments.** Each payment in a batch has a `Scheduled date`, the day you plan
  to pay it, and a milestone payment starts with the milestone's due date. Enter a date to set it,
  or select `Clear` to take it off. On a milestone's page, the payment's `Edit` form has the same
  `Scheduled Date` while the payment is `Pending Approval` or `Approved`. It never changes the
  payment date. [Cashflow](/administrator/payments/cashflow) totals unpaid payments by the month of
  this date, and lists those without one under `Unscheduled`.
