Answer 1

Om,
Pleae check the following ...
Marketing document with earlier posting date not added
Symptom
Error message: 'A previous document of this type has been created with a later date.' and the document is not added.
Other terms
AR, AP, invoice, credit memo, reserve invoice, wizard, document, generation, past, previous, posting date, settings, initialisation, SAP Business One
Reason and Prerequisites
Business requirement that marketing documents with an earlier date than the current system date are entered.
Solution
Under Administration -> System Initialisation -> Document Settings -> Tab 'General' is a tickbox 'Block Documents with Earlier Date'.
If this box is ticked, the error message 'A previous document of this type has been created with a later date.' is received and the document cannot be added. This affects the following documents:
AR and AP Invoice
AR and AP Credit Memo
AR and AP Reserve Invoice
If the box is unticked, the system displays the message: 'A previous document of this type has been created with a later date. CONTINUE or CANCEL.' If 'Continue' is chosen, the document can be added.
This setting will also affect documents to be processed by the 'Automatic Summary Wizard'.
HTH,
Eddy
