Hi

Start of Validity Period

Date as of which services can be performed or materials delivered.

In the case of outline agreements:

Start of the stipulated validity period of an outline agreement.

In the case of RFQs:

Start of the period in which the quotation is to be submitted.

In the case of purchase orders:

Start of the period in which the service is to be performed or the material delivered.

Service entry sheets can only be created within the specified period.

End of Validity Period

Date up to which services can be performed or materials delivered.

In the case of outline agreements:

End of the stipulated validity period of the agreement.

In the case of RFQs:

End of the period in which the quotation is to be submitted.

In the case of POs:

End of the period in which the service is to be performed or the material delivered.

No further service entry sheets can be created after this date.

Thanks & Regards

Dear,

Validity date in PO means ,life of the document

validity start date means you do the GR only on that date or before validity end date , after the validity end date you cannot do the GR,that means validity of the document end.

For frame work order document type FO you will have validity start date and end date in sap standard.

Reward if helpful

does validity period indicates the interval in which org needs to make a payment to the vendor .

does the document date have a relation with validity periods.

its not regarding paymeny,

Validity start and end related to Good receipt (GR) i.e receiving good to your storage location or warehouse.

no doument date doesnt have relation with validity start and end date..
