"Date Shifting" is the name I've given to the process whereby certain types of payments have their payment date shifted automatically.
In the UK standing orders and direct debits are generally not processed on a weekend so if the normal payment date for these types of transactions falls on a weekend then the payments for the week they should fall in and the week that they actually fall in will be incorrect.
When in date shifting mode the script will automatically move direct debit and standing order payments which fall on a weekend to the start of the next week.
It should be noted that if the next week happens to be within the next month then the payments will not be shown.
Payments which have been date shifted will have the text "[was <date>]" placed under the date they are predicted to go out, where <date> is the original date for the payment.
This funtionality can be disabled by calling outgoing with the -S flag.
