Baseline date in payment terms

Hi experts,
There're 4 kinds of baseline dates in payment terms: no default, posting date, document date & entry date. I have gone through the relevant thread & tested in the system.
However, I found no differences among them, i.e. no matter which baseline date is selected, billing date automatically captures actual delivery date from delivery when creating invoice.
Why? Is there something wrong?
Plz help. Many thanks.

As I already mention, baseline date for payment is the date from which the terms of payment apply.
So,
- No default for the base date, this Indicates that no default value is required for the baseline date for payment. You then have to enter the base date manually during document entry.
- Propose posting date, this Indicates that the posting date is to be proposed in the base date field during document entry.
- Propose document date, this indicates that the document date is to be proposed in the base date field during document entry.
- Propose entry date, this indicates that the entry date is to be proposed in the field Base date during document entry.
Where,
Base Date is the date to be entered in the header of a document.
Posting Date is the date on which a business transaction is transferred into one or more accounting ledgers on document entry.
Document Date is the date on which the original document (such as vendor invoice) was created.
For understanding refer following links:
[Terms of Payment|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_40b/helpdata/en/96/8b3fc643ce11d189ee0000e81ddfac/content.htm]
[Baseline Date for Payment|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/ru/e5/0783804acd11d182b90000e829fbfe/content.htm]
Hope this can assist you.

Default for baseline date in Payment terms

Hi All,
Can anyone please explain me the options in OBB8 default for base line date 1. No Default 2. Posting Date 3. Document date 4. Entry Date while creating payment terms with examples.
It's very very very Urgent!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks in advance.
Boppana

Hi,
The following are the examples:
1. No default: Self explanatory, hence system does not consider any default value to start for calculation of due date. The baseline date has to be entered manually at the time of Invoice creation.
2. Posting Date: The date of entry in the system 31-Jul-11 (after two days).
3. Document Date: The date on the physical Invoice which we key in at the time of Invoice entry. Say for example 25-Jul-11.
4. Entry Date: This is the system date i.e. todayu2019s date 29-Jul-11. This date is internal in the system and not controllable or editable.
To summarize, for 2, 3 & 4 the system defaults the baseline date (changeable) at the time of Invoice entry but, for 1 system does not default any baseline date.

Day Limit, Fixed day/Additinal months & Baseline Date in Payment Terms-OBB8

Hi Gurus,
Please put some light on the following:-
1. What is the relation between Day Limit & Baseline Date.
2. What is the use or significance of Day Limit as far as Payment Term for Vendor/Customer is concerned?
Thanks & regards,
CS

Hi,
The day limit is used to process the document for due date determination based on the baseline date (document date, posting date etc. which is specified in payment term) of the documnt.
For example, if you have defined first payment term P000 with the day limit as 15 and second P000 with day limit 31, then the documents having baseline date 15th or before will attract first payment term for due date calculation and documents with baseline date after 15 will attract second payment term for due date calculation.
I hope the things are clear to you now.

Gaurav

BaseLine date different from Terms Of Payment Date

Hi,
My client posted 3 documents dated 23.12.2009,17.12.2009,14.12.2009 respectively. The terms of payment has been set to accept document date as default for the baseline date. This means that the baseline dates for the documents should be same as 23.12.2009,17.12.2009,14.12.2009 respectively. However, the system has set 31.12.2009 as baseline dates for all MIRO documents. I have already checked Terms Of Payment ,Vendor Master and the posted documents.
Can anyone please provide any clues to this problem?
Thanks In Advance

Payal Saxena

Hi Payal
Request you to check settings for PT in OBB8
Also, refer to this thread - Baseline date in payment terms_reply the question for FI experts
If the problem still persists, you will require a user exit.

Idoc INVOIC error Baseline date for payment does not exist

Dear All,
I am facing the following error message when processing an idoc to do an MM invoice reception (operation similar to a MIRO).
The payment term is correctly maintained in the purchase order.
Idoc message type INVOIC MM.
Baseline date for payment does not exist
Message no. M8356
Diagnosis
You have tried to post a document without a baseline date for payment.
The system will not allow you to do this.
Check the purchase order. No terms of payment have been entered in the document header or no suggestion has been defined in Customizing for the baseline date for payment for the terms of payment entered.
If you get the error message during automatic settlement of planned delivery costs, maintain the term of payment in the master record (Payment Transactions, Financial Accounting) for the freight vendor or use the Business Add-In MRM_ERS_HDAT_MODIFY to determine the term of payment.

Arnaud

Hello,
Date for starting the calculation of the baseline date is indeed managed in the TC OME2 (document date, posting date, etc..).
In my project, there is already some companies using payment term N60N, so it should be possible to continue using it.
I solved this issue by putting a payment term in the vendors master data (company & purchasing views) and also in the customers views (company / sales orga) otherwise the structure of the idoc is different.
Thanks anyway for your input.
Keep in touch.

Calendar date & net due date (FI) PAYMENT TERMS - OBB8 Vendor Invoice

I read many posts on SDN forum about the topic.
Anyway, I didn't find a simple solution for that.
My aim is is to calculate a net due date based on working days.
So, If I've got a 30 days document days payment term ("Deafult for baseline date" = Document date ; Additional Months = '2'), a Vendor Invoice (document date = 12.05.2011), by standard net due date will be 12.06.2011.
FROM 12.05.2011 to 12.06.2011 =
32 CALENDAR DAYS
22 WORKDAYS (32 minus 10 holyday - 2 weekends)
WORKDAYS PAYMENT TERMS Within 30 workdays Due net
Vendor Invoice document date = 12.05.2011
plus 30 workdays = DUE DATE 22.06.2011 (and not 12.06.2011)
Can I obtain that with a standard functionality?
Edited by: Roberto Buono on Jul 1, 2011 2:29 PM

Hi,
Sadly this is not available as standard. As per your need the Net due date should be worked out by using a factory calendar; but what this does is it delinks the direct correlation between the number of days in the payment terms with the difference between the due date and baseline date. I hope you are aware that Net Due date is not stored but is a variable calculated during run time in reports.
There are four things you can try:
1. The simplest to do is: As the number of weekends are fixed; and if the intention is to give a 30 working day term, then add on the number of weekends and make the payment term effectively for say 40 days. There will be marginal variations over what you want. Best part here is that config remains standard.
2. All the receivable reports will use a function module (usually the same one) to calculate the net due date; enhance the FM and make it consider a factory calendar for calculating due date.
3. Enhance the accounting interface, and in runtime; modify the days that are coming from the payment term; based on a factory calendar, and update the accounting document. This delinks the days mentioned in the payment term and the accounting document and may not be palatable.
4. Enhance the accounting interface, and in runtime; calculate the due date and update the baseline date with it and make the payment term as "Immediate" yielding the desired due date. Not very elegant. Alternatively add to the baseline date days equivalent to holidays and weekends and keep the days from payment terms constant and update the accounting document. Better...
All four options have somes pros and cons. I do not see any other means of acheiving what you want. Maybe you could restrict users to a custom receivables/due date/ageing report which delivers what you want and lock the standard reports.
Cheers..

Baseline date for payment due date.

Hi,
In FB60 and Miro, Baseline date for calculating due date for payment is taken as default as document date, as per setting in payment terms. But I want to take this date as date of GR/SE. Can we do this. I also want to make it gray and dont want user to change it. Please suggest how to do it.

Hi
go through the link answered by me.
Re: Substitution - Baseline Date to be replaced by the Goods Receipt date
the Goods receipt date can be defaulted as Baseline Date.
tell your ABAP consultant to check the BADI and do the necessary.

Baseline date in payment terms_reply the question for FI experts

Hy guys,
my problem is this: in payment terms I should want that the baseline date is the date of good receipts instead of the date of invoice receipt and this thing should happen only for a particular society.
In your opinion is it possible to make this ?
I have already made the same question to the MM experts but it seems to be more a FI problem and so I also ask you if perhaps there is a user exit that permit to me to make this.
Thanks in advance for kindness and effort,bye
Maximilian

Hello,
Baseline date is the date from which SAP calculates the due date.
You can configure the terms of payment in transaction code OBB8. Within terms of payment you are required to maintain baseline date.
You can select either one of these:
1) Posting Date: Posting Date of the invoice
2) Document Date: Document date of the invoice
3) Entry Date: Nothing but current date of the entry
4) No Default: In the case of no. default, the system will not propose any base line date, however, the user is forced to enter the base line date.
In case of 1, 2 and 3 the system proposes the baseline date, however, the user will have the privilege to change at the time of posting.
You do not have any other options for baseline date, except the these four date options.
Please let me know if you need further details.
Thanks,
Ravi

Due date and payment terms data

Hi All,
Goodday to you all!
My client is posting one transfer posting.
He is transferring the normal customer line items to special GL items through FB01.
Giving the first lime item posting key as 09 and customer number and special gl indicator
But after going inside only the Dueon field shows as mandatory and there is no field called Payment terms.
This dueon field is for taking the baseline date for calculating the due date.
The payment terms field is optional in both the field status (Posting key as well as GL account field status variant)
But the payment terms field is not showing while entering the transfer document !
Can anybody advise me on this /
Thanks in advance
Shankar

Hi Shankar,
> Goto Tcode OBC4
> select your field status variant
> DoubleClick on Field status groups
> Goto General (with text, allocation) - G001 (incase of standard SAP)
>Goto payment transactions
> Click on Req Entry or opt. entry in front of payment terms.
Payment terms will appear in FB01

Fixed Date for Payment term

Hi,
We have a customer with three fixed date of payment depending on the invoice date, but we do not know how to customize payment terms with fixed date. It seems it is not possible with OBB8...
Thank you very much,
Ariana

Hi Ariana,
Yes it is very much possible using OBB8 to have fixed date of payment.You have to make use of the field Day Limit (which is just below the payment tem field) and Fixed Day and Additional month (Which you will find in the tab for baseline date calculation) in OBB8
Lets say the you want the TOP (Terms of Payment) like
1) For invoicing up to 10th of the month the baseline date is 30th of the current month
2) For invoicing up to 20th of the month the baseline date is 15th of the next month
3) For invoicing up to 30st of the month the baseline date is 30th of the next month
Hence when lets say u create a TOP say TEST in OBB8 you will make the configuration as below
1) Payment Term: TEST, Day Limit: 10, Fixed Day:30, Additional Month: 0
2) Payment Term: TEST, Day Limit: 20, Fixed Day:15, Additional Month: 1
3) Payment Term: TEST, Day Limit: 30, Fixed Day:30, Additional Month: 1
Hope this helps you

FIX DATE in Payment terms

HI All,
we have a requirement where the due date should be a fix date, say 31st march 2007, irrespective of invoice date.
Please let me know if this can be configured & how?

Hi
Sorry Suryu , But here we want specific date along with the month (15/10/2008) as a baseline date , We can obviously set specific day but month for due date depends upon posting date or document date
For instance today is 11/09/2008 if I want my payment term baseline to be set at 15th of october 08 then I can make a fix day 15th and also additional month 1 so it will make baseline date 15/10/2008 for only those transaction which is been done on september, but again in october it will add another month so it will become 15/11/2008
Please let me know if you have solution about this

Function Module to Calculate Due Date from Payment Terms?

I'm writing an aged debtor report as the SAP standard one isn't quite right for our requirements. Is there a function module that will calculate the payment due date if I give it the payment terms and the base line date?
I did a search in SE37 but couldn't see one which fitted my requirements (I was searching on CALCDUEDATE and variantions of).
Any suggestions welcome, thanks.

Hi,
Use the FM FI_TERMS_OF_PAYMENT_PROPOSE for calculating the Payment due date
call function 'FI_TERMS_OF_PAYMENT_PROPOSE'
exporting
    i_bldat         = gv_bldat
    i_budat         = gv_budat
    i_cpudt         = sy-datum
    i_zfbdt         = gv_zfbdt
    i_zterm         = gv_terms_paym
    i_bukrs         = gv_comp_code
importing
    e_zbd1t         = gv_zbd1t
    e_zbd1p         = gv_zbd1p

Payment Terms in AP based on shipment date

Hi Guys,
I would like to create a payment term Z001 where 30 % is paid in advance to the vendor, then another 40% once the vendor ships the material, and then the remainder within 30 days of the invoice date.
Is this possible with Standard SAP functionality? if not how to achieve this requirement using customizing ? Any thoughts or insights would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Jagadish,
I think this is not possible with standard SAP configuration. there are userexits/BADIs provided for this kind of requirements , but not sure which one is exactly suitable for your requirement. This exit can bring the shipping date/invoice date from logistics module and fill the due date in accounting document. Example is given here and hope this helps. 1559443 - Changing baseline dates for payment terms for Spain
