Posting date and System date

Hi SAP experts ,
I am troubleshooting one system and I am kind of getting lost ...
Let me explain the scenario:
Posting period set up
Posting date : 01-14-09
Sytem Date :01 -01-09
After checking all the information , I ran my period end closing .. I ran a comparison report between 12/31/2008 and 01/01/2009 .
My balance sheet matches with when I ran by posting date and my balance sheet is way off (especially retained earning )if ran by system date .
I can get the differnce in amount but was unable to track the exact transaction .Some of the adjustment have been done in this system using system date .
Any queries that will help me to track ? I have used this
SELECT
T0.TransId, T1.Account, T1.Taxdate, sum(T1.Debit-T1.Credit) Balance FROM OJDT T0 INNER JOIN JDT1 T1 ON T0.TransId = T1.TransId WHERE T0.TransType = 30 GROUP BY T0.TransId, T1.Account,T1.Taxdate
But not much of help to target easily ...
Any advise on this ...Should I consider if balance sheet is correct by posting date , it is fine ..
Thank you
Bishal

Hi Bishal,
I believe balance sheet by posting date is correct. System date is only kept for system to show the audit trail when you actually added the document.
Thanks,

What is difference between tha master data and tranction data

Hi, Gurus
this is sudhakar
i want to no what is the difference between the transaction data and master data give with examples .
Thanks
sudhakar

Hi,
The most important data classes are master data, transaction data, organizational data and system
data.
Master data is data that is rarely modified. An example of master data is the data of an address file, for
example the name, address and telephone number.
Transaction data is data that is frequently modified. An example is the material stock of a warehouse,
which can change after each purchase order.
Organizational data is data that is defined during customizing when the system is installed and that is
rarely modified thereafter. The country keys are an example.
System data is data that the R/3 System itself needs. The program sources are an example

Invoice verification Invoice date,Posting date and Baseline Date

Hi Sap Gurus
Pls Tell Me in detail what Dates should be entered at MIRO transaction,
Invoice date,Posting date and Baseline Date
i presumed that the date on the Invoice slip will be Invoice date,
But in the Invoice the Date is very long back, say a month Older,
the month of Posting as Posting date, but any posting Date made in MIRO will be Paid after 2 or 3 months so in this case what should be the Posting date.
at Base line date in the present company Senario the Discount on Vendor payment is literally valid for all the time , say
In Invoice if the condition is 10% discount if paid in 30 days is given.
but in actual sense the Vendor is paid 10% less even if he is paid after 4 or 6 months also, so in this case what should be the Entry in Baseline date
another senario is the vendor has sent only one Invoice for 2 POs how can this be accomadated in SAP
Pls suggest its Urgent,
Age may have a Bar, But Points No Bar
Thanks and Regards
Sathish

Hi
LIV is nothing but You are getting Invoice from the Vendor for your PO   and GR.....and you are checking the Invoice for Price, Qty,Amount etc. by refering the PO and posting the Invoice...
Invoice Date :
           The date of Vendor' Invoice...ie) Date at which the vendor Raised the invoice for his supply against your PO...
Posting Date :
   The Date at which you actually Verifying Vendor's Invoice and doing the Posting...
base line date :
    Generally the Posting Date...
The Imp. of Baseline date is for eg)
If in the Payment Terms if some conditions are maintained like say
10% Discount for Payment With in 30 days, if
PO created on 01.11.2007.
GR done at 10.11.2007.
Invoice slip Received at 30.11.2007 but having the Date on it as 20.11.2007...
So as per your terms you will get 10% Discount if you make the payment on or 20.12.07....
Here if you keep inv. Date: 20.11.2007 and Posting Date : 30.11.2007 and Baseline Date as 30.11.2007 ( you cannot maintain baseline date earlier than Posting date)....even though as per terms the you are eligible for discount if you make the payment on or before 20.11.2007.....as per the system you are still eligible to get the Discount if you make payment on or 30.12.2007( since you have maintained baseline date as 30.11.2007)...
this way Baseline date is Importane...
Generally we use to maintain always Posting Date as Baseline date....
It is advantageous..
Reward if useful

How to save user name and system date in a table

I have a form that allow users to enter some information...
I want to save user name in one of the columns and system date in another column by default when the user submit the form to save data...
Please advice...
Thanks

Hi talbo,
The most reliable method is to use a before-insert trigger on your table. This way the columns will be set properly no matter how rows are inserted (via your app or any other means). Given your user name column is called "CREATE_USER" and your date column is called "CREATE_DATE" for example - include these lines in a before-insert trigger:
:NEW.CREATE_USER := NVL(V('APP_USER'), USER);
SELECT SYSDATE INTO :NEW.CREATE_DATE FROM DUAL;The NVL(V('APP_USER'), USER) will set CREATE_USER to the current ApEx application user if the row is created from within the application, or to the current database user if the row is created outside the application.
Hope this helps,
John

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

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.

<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.

Winmail.data are not usable files. They just preserve RTF within the message.

Calculate number of days based on System Date and a date column!

Hi everyone,
I have a query to run a report where the results has a column named “Due Date” which holds a date value based on the project submission date.
Now, I need to add 4 columns named, “45 Days Expectant”, “30 Days Overdue”, “60 Days Overdue” and “90 Days Overdue”.
I need to do a calculation based on the “Due Date” and “System (I mean default computer date) Date” that if “System Date” is 45 days+ to “Due Date” than put “Yes” in “45 Days Expectant” row.
Also, if “Due Date” is less than or equal to system date by 30 days, put “Yes” in “30 Days Overdue” and same for the 60 and 90 days.
For example the output should be like:
Is this possible? Can someone help me how to write this Case Statement please? I have some answers how to do it in SSRS (Report Designer) but I want to get the results using T-SQL...Thanks heaps...cheers...
artistdedigital

Hi Jay,
Thanks but those dates are just a reference. The actual table contains hundreds of date rows... so I guess this technique will not work (not sure though)...
I am quite cool with this bit:
select duedate,
case when days > -45 and days < 0 then 'YES' else '' end as '45 Days Expectant',
case when days between 30 and 60 then 'YES' else '' end as '30 Days overdue',
case when days between 60 and 90 then 'YES' else '' end as '60 Days overdue',
case when days > 90 then 'YES' else '' end as '90 Days overdue'
from cte--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------But can you please explain this bit a more? Thanks for being so prompt though : )declare @tab table (duedate datetime)
insert @tab select '04/25/2014'
insert @tab select '02/10/2014'
insert @tab select '01/10/2014'
insert @tab select '12/10/2013'
;with cte
as
select duedate,datediff(dd,duedate,getdate()) as days
from @tab

Difference between using new Date() and new Date(System.currentTimeMillis()

Hi All,
I have seen many open source api's where they are updating dates with the following code
new Date(System.currentTimeMillis())
when i print the new Date() it prints the same
what is the difference between using new Date() and new Date(System.currentTimeMillis()) ??
Thanks,
J.Kathir

when i print the new Date() it prints the same
It does because of backward compatability. This constructor exists in version 1.3.1 but not in newer versions.Really ? Please point me to where you read that.
API doc 1.5 : new Date() (still there, not even deprecated)
A quick look at the code for this constructor:    /**
     * Allocates a <code>Date</code> object and initializes it so that
     * it represents the time at which it was allocated, measured to the
     * nearest millisecond.
     * @see     java.lang.System#currentTimeMillis()
    public Date() {
        this(System.currentTimeMillis());
    }

To get first date and end date after entering any month and year

Hi,
I need to to get first date and end date of a month and year in yyyyMMdd format. I am reading month and year from a properties file. But I don't know how to get the first date and End date in given format. The properties file gives me just text. But I don't know how to get the date format using this. I need this urgently. Can anyone help me to get code for this?
I am reading the fields as,
Properties props = new Properties();
props.load(new FileInputStream("AnyMonthVolume.properties"));
String date_month = props.getProperty("date_month");
String date_year = props.getProperty("date_year");
Thanks.

I know this has been posted a while ago but incase someone looking for it, here is the code to get the end of current month date.
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
     cal.setTime(new java.util.Date());
     cal.set(Calendar.DATE, 1); //set the date to start of month
     cal.add(Calendar.MONTH,1);
     cal.add(Calendar.DATE,-1);
System.out.println(cal.getTime());
