Hi Anbu,
I am glad to hear that my last answer if helpful.
It is the standard system behaviour that the billing date (VBRK-FKDAT)
of the invoice cancellation is always taken directly from the original
document.
You can change th date manually as follow:
1) run VF11
2) Select the cancellation document
3) Goto->Header->Header
4) Now you can update the Billing Date (VBRK-FKDAT) in the cancellation.
If you want to set automatically the billing date (VBRK-FKDAT) of
the cancellation into todayｴs date as the default you have this
possibility:
In the level of invoice type (Transaction VOFA), every invoice type has
its own cancellation type.
==> VOFA 'Billing: Document Types' for example: billing type F2 invoice
    Cancell.billing type 'S1'     Invoice Cancellation
    Copying requirements '  '  <        Here
Youｴve got the possibility to deposit an additional copying requirement.
against your cancellation type. In here you can set the billing date on
the document to whatever date you require. Eg: VBRK-FKDAT = SY-DATUM.
would set it to the date the document is being cancelled (see note
43318).
Cheers,
Alex
