Baseline Date in FB60

[Former Member]

Hi,

We are using FB60 to create a vendor invoice.

Normally the ‘BaselineDt’ would default as per the configuration in payment terms and the baseline date can be changed during the document entry, now my problem is eventhough the default for the baseline date is set as document date in the payment term, the document is not getting defaulted at the time of the document entry some times, the date is posting date.

Can anyone let me know whether there is any other setting for this default for baseline date or am I missing something in vendor master.

Thanks

Hi,

By system design, the baseline date (BSEG-ZFBDT) defaults to document

date (BKPF-BLDAT) when no payment term is defined in the vendor master

record used in trans FB60.

Please assign points if it useful.

You are right with your observation regarding config.

>>the document is not getting defaulted at the time of the document entry some times, the date is posting

Can you clearify 'sometimes'?

Is in here the payment term populated in finance part of vendor master record?

Hi Hein,

Yes the payment term is populated in vendor master record.

'Sometimes' means once in a while.

Thanks

check the same vendor is created in MM also , see the Purchasing segment. There is also a payment term field may be its blank

Have you configured all of your payment terms the same, i.e. to work of the document date or posting date?

This is an area you should check.

Remember you are saying sometimes, is that the same vendors or it happens for a vendor once and then not again.

To me it sounds like a payment term that has been configured to run off the posting date. You should be able to spot this by creating a query on BSIK.

Hi,

I am using same payment term in Purchaseing Segment.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for your reply. All our payment terms default to document date.

I have checked the table BSIK, the baseline date is document date since at the time of data entry the user would change the baseline date if it defaults to posting date.

If your payment terms are all common in the way they are set up then I guess there must be a user intervention problem.

Check the change logs of the documents in question and speak to the users who have entered the documents to see if they did something different.

Please award points if useful.
