GL Date and Accounting date

What is GL date and accounting date?
I assume we may have accounted the transaction on a particular date but it is transferred to GL on another date.Is it so?
If there is anything else for GL date please let me know .
Thanks

They are actually two terms for the same thing, they are the dates the transactions will be accounted in GL, which will determine the period they are posted etc.
Where is it you see these terms?

Difference between Invoice Date, GL Date and Accounting Date Oracle AP

Hello,
I have a question that might help a lot of people too later.
I tried to run these queries
select aia.INVOICE_ID
from AP_INVOICES_ALL aia, AP_INVOICE_DISTRIBUTIONS_ALL aida
where aia.INVOICE_ID = aida.INVOICE_ID
and aia.INVOICE_DATE <> aida.ACCOUNTING_DATE
select aia.INVOICE_ID
from AP_INVOICES_ALL aia, AP_INVOICE_DISTRIBUTIONS_ALL aida
where aia.INVOICE_ID = aida.INVOICE_ID
and aia.GL_DATE <> aida.ACCOUNTING_DATE
I can see that there are lot of results for these queries, where the Invoice Date is not equal to the Accounting date and the GL_Date of an invoice is not equal to the accounting date in the distributions table.
So, what is the difference between these dates.
And if I had to take the Invoice Accounting document entry date, which date do i have to take for these invoices in AP
Thanks
Bob

Hi
Let me try to explain this with an example.
Suppose I buy some stationary from a vendor and he provides me with a detailed invoice of the goods puchased.
In this case the invoice will always have a date printed on it and this date should ideally be entered in the invoice date at AP_INVOICES_ALL level.
Now suppose the invoice happens to be received by me in february and for some reason I could not capture the invoice in my books in february and made a provision for the liabilities and close the books.
However in march i want to book the invoice say on 10th of march in my books and pay the vendor the amount payable.(I Have to reverse the already provided liability in march to reverse the accounting effect).
In this case my book entry date of invoice is the accounting date i.e. 10 March.
In case of oracle, the accounting is maintained so that the invoice header hits the liability account while the invoice distribution hits the charge account(expense account so to say). And to gain more flexibility oracle provides date in both header and distributions to provide an option of booking liability and charge on different dates..
As per the 11i checks there is no check on any of these dates except that accounting date at header and ditribution level must be in an open AP and GL period.
Thanks
MAV.

What's the differences between GL date and accounting date?

If there is anything different please let me know .
If they are the same. why the system distinguish them?
thanks

These are different, though I can understand some confusion, since so much of the time they will end up being the same value. What you will find if you look at the Oracle tables is that these dates may be stored in different places in Oracle, as Oracle stores them matching up to either the accounted process or the g/l posting process.

So is it possible to give validity period for a GL account

Open items date and clearing date

Hi,
Could any one tell me what are the field names in BSEG table for the "open items date" and "clearing date"?
thank u
Kaki

You should better analyze open items via secondary index tables (BSID for customers, BSIK for vendors, and BSIS for G/L accounts with open items), it would be more efficient. Those tables by design contain actual open items only.
Anyway if you have to select open items via BSEG then you should select those which have AUGBL and AUGDT fields cleared.
Another option is to use some LDB (Logical DataBase) - KDF or DDF.

Difference between doc date,posting date and invoice date

hi bw guys
can someone give a brief on the difference between doc date,posting date and invoice date.and the invidual definitions
thank you

Hi,
Posting Date: Date which is used when entering the document in Financial Accounting or Controlling. The posting date can differ from both the entry date and the doc date.
Document Date: The document date is the date on which the original document was issued. Ex: Inv date, Bill date etc.,
Invoice Date : Usually the date when goods are shipped. Payment dates are set relative to the invoice date.

Posting Date and Billing Date.

Hi Experts,
I am working on an IS-U project at the moment.
Could anyone please let me know what is the difference between Posting Date and Billing Date?
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Chandu.

Hi,
<b>Posting Date:</b> The date on which a transaction in SAP will be posted to the appropriate accounts. SAP will default this field to be the current date, but changes are allowed. For items to be posted in a future or past period, you must enter the posting date.
<b>Billing Date:</b> Billing date from - Date the billing began and Billing Date To - The default is the last date of the current month.
Hope this helps.

Create a record based on From date and To Date in CRM 2015 Plugins

Hi all
in my account screen i have two date field from date and Todate and i have one child entity member when i am creating a
new account then based on from date and to date number of child record should be created
for example in account screen
if from date=2/1/2015 and
To date=31/03/2015
then number of child record should be created
in this manner
from date to date
2/1/2015 31/01/2015
01/02/2015 28/02/2015
1/03/2015 31/03/2015

Hi,
OK. It seems you want to create 3 records (custom child entity) where the first has the same From Date as the Account and goes up to the end of the month, and the other records go from there.
This logic can be implemented via a Plugin that could run on the create and update of these fields on Accounts. From the Plugin, you can set up the logic and fill the records with the necessary information.

Query with Start Date and End Date

Dear Members,
I have done a basic query on to get a report on Sales Invoices processed in a given period with the General Ledger account they were posted to. Minor hassle is that to change the dates, I have to go into the script (see extract below) and change dates manually, save query etc.
Is there a way to have the query, when selected to run, pop up with window, allowing user to input say "start date" and "finish date". I imagine it will require some complex addition to the script below, any assistance will be appreciated.
Regards
Raj

The Difference between "Cell Data" and "Dimension Data"?

What is the difference between the tab "Cell Data" and "Dimension Data" in SSAS?

Article quote: " SSAS provides the way to secure analysis services database/cube data from unauthorized access. Analysis services provides secure access by creating object called "roles". After creation of role, user's windows login credential can be used
to enroll into particular role because analysis services identifies user from their windows login credentials . You can protect your data in roles at two levels:
1) Dimension level
2) Cell level
If user has been assigned more than one role, analysis services loop through all assigned roles after login. Analysis services finds all permission level for the particular user and union all the permission levels.
If two roles has contradictory access for user then particular access will be allowed. Suppose role1 says Australia data access and role2 denies Australia data access then access to Australia data will be allowed. "

Diff B/W master data and transaction data

Hi all,
What is the main Diff B/W master data and transaction data. give me some example ?
Thanks in Advance
Krish...

hi krish,
MASTER Data is the data that exists in the organization like employee details, material master, customer master, vendor master etc. These are generally created once.
Master data are distributed throughout the company, they are often not standardised and often redundant. As a result it is very costly to offer efficient customer service, keep track of supply chains and make strategic decisions. With SAP Master Data Management (SAP MDM) these important business data from across the company can be brought together, harmonised and made accessible to all staff and business partners. As a key component of SAP NetWeaver, SAP MDM ensures data integrity via all IT systems.
Regardless of the industry, companies often work with different ERP and Legacy systems. The result: the business processes are based on information about customers, partners and products which is displayed in different ways in the systems. If the data are recorded manually, there are more inconsistencies: some data sets are entered several times, others cannot be retrieved by all divisions of the company.
As corporate applications are becoming increasingly complex and produce ever greater amounts of data, the problem is intensified further. Nevertheless, your employees must work with the inconsistent data and make decisions on this basis. The lack of standardised master data easily leads to wrong decisions, which restrict efficiency and threaten customer satisfaction and profitability.
In a word: in order to save costs and ensure your companys success it is necessary to consolidate master data about customers, partners and products, make them available to all employees beyond system boundaries and use attributes valid company-wide for the purpose of description.
TRASNACTION Data - These are the business documents that you create using the master data - Purchase orders, sales orders etc

Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher Report Designer's Guide
This function provides a method to get the difference between two dates in the given locale. The dates need to be in "yyyy-MM-dd" format. This function supports only the Gregorian calendar. The syntax is as follows:
<?xdoxslt:date_diff(‘format’, ‘YYYY-MM-DD’, ‘YYYY-MM-DD’, $_XDOLOCALE, $_XDOTIMEZONE)?>
where
format is the time value for which the difference is to be calculated
Example:
<?xdoxslt:date_diff(‘d’, ‘2006-04-08’, ‘2006-04-01’, $_XDOLOCALE, ‘America/Los_Angeles’)?>
