Automatic payment: OBBA Define Value date rules

Question

hi experts,
Have you ever tried OBBA to define Value date rules? I met a problem with it.
In OBBA, my configuration is as follows:
House banK Account ID Transaction R C1 S Dev C2  A
CIT1               CNY                              3 CN -    1   CN  -
CN is the Factory Calendar China.
According to this configuration, I suppose the Value date will take Due date as reference date, minus one day, and if the Value date calculated is Weekend or Public holiday, it will use the last week day as the Value date.
But I made two tests:
In the first test, my OBBA configuration is exactly like above one I listed, in my payment proposal, the invoce Due date is 20-Jun, Value date is also 20-Jun, but I think according to the configuration, the Value date should be 20-Jun minus one day=19-Jun which is a weekend, so should be the last week day 18-Jun.
My first test tell me the Deviation from reference date in days and the Calendar does not work.
In my 2nd test, I changed the Reference date to 2 (Posting date), but in my payment run, the Posting date is 9-Jun, the invoice Due date is 20-Jun, the Value date is still 20-Jun.
My 2nd test tell me the Reference date for determining the value date does not work.
Have you met such problem, it seems the OBBA totally dose not work.
many thanks!
best regards
Sophie

Hi Sophie,
I guess it is too late for you already but maybe this helps to other people with similar issues. You also need to assign the transaction created in OBBA to a specific payment method:
But what is even more important is that you need to tick this box in the payment method company code settings - "payment per due date".
