Baseline Data Change

[Former Member]

Experts,

I entered a document from a ref document and while entering the document, i was able to change the document and posting date - However, when i tried to make the payment run, this document did not get picked up and it went to exceptions - The reason for that, was it had a baseline date same as the ref document, on account of which the due date is different.

I tried to go to FB02 to change the baseline date - but i don't see any option to change the baseline date.

How do i change it ? Other question would be how do i change the baseline date when posting a document with a ref document?

All answers would be duly rewarded with points.

Thanks,

Nandita

Hi Nadita,

Baseline date is derived from payment terms. e.g PT= net 30 days & if invoice date/posting date is say 23rd aug then the baseline date is 23rd aug +30 days = 22nd Sept

Change the payment term to immediate and this will change the baseline date.

hope this helps

Ravi,

My document has a posting & document date of today i.e 08/23/07 and a baseline date of 10/06/03. My payment terms is Due Net on the 10th of every month and the default for Baseline date is Document Date.

But then as you can see, my baseline date is not the same as doc date - Is there anything i am missing? or how can i change the baseline date?

Thanks,

Nandita

Nimit,

Is FAGS a T Code ? I am guessing it is a t code based on your reply - However that T Code does not exist at our installation of SAP - I checked SE93 and i don't see it either there.

Can you let me know is there any additional thing i need to do to access this ?

Thanks,

Nandita

Ravi,

I don't see Doc Change Rules over there - The options i see at that level are:

Define Posting Keys

Maintain Field Status Variants

Assign Co Cds to Field Status Variants

Screen variants for doc entry

Maintain subscreens for doc entry.

Any other way i can access that screen.

Thanks,

basline date gets picked up from the payment terms... whatever parameter u have defined in the payment term...ilke posting date or document date... the baseline date will get defaulted from there....

u can change the default date field .. u need to have the settings in Document change rules...
