Document Date - A/P Invoice

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I'm having an issue with A/P Invoices.

My customer wants to post an Invoice with these dates:

Posting Date: 26/03/09

Due Date: 30/01/09

DocDate: 31/12/08

The payment conditions for this BP are set to 30 days, counting from DocDate.

I've changed the definitions for the current period (2009-03) and the docdate is now from 01/12/08 to 30/01/09.

What happens is that the doc due date is changing automatically with the posting date, instead of changing with the docdate.

As it is defined on the payment conditions, shouldn't it change only with the docdate?

Kind regards,

Pedro Santos

Hello Pedro,

I would suggest you to check what was selected in the Payment Terms -set up for the Business Partner you are using.

If you go to the Business Partner Master Data and to the Payment Terms tab and click on the arrow beside peryment terms it is possible to choose the Due Date based on.

Please, check what it was previously selected and changed if needed.

Kind Regards,

Hi Marcella,

I've done that. On payment terms it's defined 30 days from the doc date. When we insert 31/12/08, the due date is filled automatically with 30/01/09, but when we fill in the post date with 26/03/09, the due date changes to 29/04/09.

It shouldn't change due date, because on payment terms it's defined from doc date, or am I wrong?

The version is 2007 A with PL46.

Thanks

Pedro,

What actually happens is when you change the posting date - the document date will automatically change to match the post date. So the calculation still works based on Document Date.

System function:

Posting Date change will affect Document Date

So if you change posting date after you have changed the document date...this will happen. So please change document date only after you have finalised the posting date.

Thank you Suda,

That was my doubt. If I should change the doc date after the posting date, or if it was something else I had to do.

Now it's answered, thank you very much.
