Baseline Date

[Former Member]

Hi Experts!

I have a problem, I need a Payment Term  with two payments day (10 and 25). I have read some forums where they indicate that I should create in OBB8 two conditions with the same code and I have do it.

My situation is the following: While creating the document everything is ok:

Baseline date is correct because according to document date (17.091.2015) baseline date should be this, but the wrong thing is that when I save the document this date is automatically changed to 10.03.2014 (the other date to my condition)

I have review all sustituions, validations and I can`t find anything so do you know if there is any standard function that makes this change?? I think in somewhere SAP is reading my Payment Terms data and is replacing the date.

Plase any idea is helpfull.

Regards

Hi Sara,

I am not sure as to why you have that system behavior.

But if i understand your requirement correctly, what you want is the following,

A) Invoices posted on or before a Particular day in the month, it should have a Baseline Date as 10th of that month.

B) If the Invoice is posted after the day mentioned in Point A, and on or before the last day of that month, it should have 25th as Baseline date.

If the above requirement is correct, i would configure the Payment Terms as follows.

1) Pay Terms :ZTER

    Day Limit  :10

    Fixed Day 10

2) Pay Terms : ZTER

    Day Limit : 31

    Fixed Day :25

See if this will address your requirement.

Hi again!

I have found something interesting, Is possible that day limit fixed in OBB8 always refer to Entry Date??

I refer to this field.

I have made this test. All tests I have made today (01/11/2015) fill due date 03/25/2015. Then I have change this "Day limit" to 17 and the same test (same document) fill with due date 03/10/2015.

It will explain why all my tests done at the begining of this post ( 01/08/2015) taked due date 03/10/2015.

In case of that I will finally find an explanation of this behaviour but, Can I configured this Day Limit to consider Document day (for example)

I believe I'm close to the solution, I only need a bit of help to confirm what I think.

Best Regards and thank you very much!

Hi,

The Day limit is the standard functionality of SAP to provide multiple payment terms with the same payment terms key.

Based on the baseline date settings and daylimit settings , the relevant payment term is picked by SAP. i.e in above case if the baseline date is <= 10th of the month, then above payment terms are valid.

There should be another payment term with the same key but with different day limit settings, which defines the due date as different. for ex.if base line date is >10th of the month.

Hi Sara,

No system will default the base line date as per payment term. Check any substitution defined for capture base line data in GGB1.

Hi,

I remember last time i also meet such things, and after a few try, we directly input the days/percent field with the payment term days we need, and the baseline date actually calculate as per our required.

Sorry if my way is wrong.

Hi,

Have you checked any substitution assigned for your co.code in OBBH.

I checked in my system & found that day limit in OBB8 always refer to default baseline date irrespective of entry date..

If you have selected default baseline date = document date then it will refer to document date.. So in your case if doc date is 11 to 31 then baseline date =25.

Hi all!

Thank you very much for your help!! Maybe these screen captures help me to explain my situation.

1.- First of all my OBB8 Configuration: I have two payment terms with the same code but different fixed days:

2.- Now I create a document with document date 09.01 so the left option should be taken. While creating document everything is ok.

3.-  Then I save document:

4.- But when I check this document Bline date is another one different from this!!!!

I have looked for a sustitution, an exit or any Z code that make this change but I can´t find anything. Is for it, that I think if maybe is a standar SAP behaviour but I don`t know.

I don't know where to look or what I have to check. My only solution is debugging FB01 but it is very difficult...

Please, any idea is helpfull for me.

Regards!!!

Hi Sara,

Check your payment method if any payment term is assigned to the payment method.

Hi Sara,

What is the base line date defined for the payment term in OBB8? And also check have you defined any fixed day or additional months for the payment term in OBB8?
