Posting date  = Key date

hi all,
i am a beginner to sap bw, and learning FI AR.  for the 0FIAR_c03_q005 query, they use the posting date <= Key date. I didn't understand the meaning of posting date and key date.
can you help me?
thanks

Check this for more info on Key date
Key Date
Each query has a key date. For time-dependent data, the key date determines the time for which the data is selected. The default key date value is the date on which the query is executed, that is <Today>.
       1.      Choose  . The Date Selection dialog box appears.
       2.      Choose a date from the calendar and use the arrow button to add it to the selection window on the right. If you select 01.01.1999 for example, time-dependent data is read up to 01.01.1999.
       3.      Choose OK.
You can also select a variable key date:
       1.      In the Date Selection dialog box, choose the Variables tab page.
       2.      Choose a variable and use the arrow button to add it to the selection window on the right.
In the selection, you may need to know the technical names of the queries as well as their descriptions. In the Description window on the left hand side, choose Technical Names from the context menu (secondary mouse click).
If you want to create a new variable, in the Description window on the left-hand side, choose New Variables from the context menu (secondary mouse click). The Variable Wizard dialog box appears, where you can create new variables .
If you want to change a variable, in the Description window on the left-hand side, select the variable and choose Change Variable from the context menu (secondary mouse click). The Variable Editor dialog box appears, where you can change variables .
       3.      Choose OK.
The key date only applies to time-dependent master data.
Hope this helps

  • AP Aging report - key date for user entry

    Hi All,
    We have a requirement to calculate aging buckets like 0-30,31-60,61-90...etc.
    I know the key date for this report is created on net due date in SAP standard report.
    In standard SAP report , key date is always a system date(SY-DATUM).
    What we need for this report is , we need to get all the invoices which are outstanding as of that date(the date which user enters).
    If user enters today's date(08/28/07) , he should get all the invoices outstanding till that date in aging buckets and if user enters some date in the past like 07/26/07, he should get all the invoices outstanding as of that date.
    Can  someone Pls tell me if aging buckets are calculated based on a user entry ?
    Regards,
    Kumar

    Hi Voodi,
    Aging in the standard report is being calculated like below...
    1.For open items
    Posting date<key date
    Item status = O
    2.Posting date < keydate and clearing date > key date and net due date with offsets on keydate ( key date + 1 - keydate+30 --- for 1-30 days) like wise for all aging buckets.
    in this scenarion , key date is always system date ie today's date.
    But user wants to get all the invoices based on his user entry...
    is this possible with the same standard key date variable or do we need implement any other logic???
    Regards,
    Kumar

  • How to get open items as on a key date

    Hi experts,
    I want to show a report Agewise report of offsets: 0-30, 30-60,....
    Only the open items of Vendor as on a particular key date to be considered...
    How to get the open items as on a particular key date ?
    Regards,
    Rao.

    Hi All,
    Thanks for the reply..
    ==============================================================
    Basically create one ckf and two rkfs for each aging bucket
    ie ckf 0-30 days = rkf 0-30 days open + rkf 0-30 days subsequently cleared
    Because you need to restate the AP report to a key date - some items have changed their status since that key date but were open at the key date (ie we call those subsequently cleared)
    so rkf 0-30 days open is
    posting date <= key date
    item status = O
    net due date between variable date (cmod which reads key date) offset 0 and variable date (cmod which reads key date) offset -30
    rkf 0-30 days subsequently cleared is
    posting date <= key date
    cleared date > variable date (which reads cmod of key date)
    net due date between variable date (cmod which reads key date) offset 0 and variable date (cmod which reads key date) offset -30
    ========================================================================
    In the above two cases, while creating restricted key figures how to design this;
    net due date between variable date (cmod which reads key date) offset 0 and variable date (cmod which reads key date) offset -30
    And also after creation of two rkfs i created a ckf i.e ckf = rkf1+rkf2.
    Now i dragged this ckf into columns and when i checked the query it is giving error that key date variable is used more than once. ( Bcz we have used key date variable both in rkf1 and rkf2 for getting posting date <= to key date )
    What is the solution for this ?
    Regards,
    Rao.

  • Default key date, Document date and posting date needs to be changed automa

    Hi Experts,
    The user wants to create a variant for Foreign currency valuation, wherein the default key date, Doc date and Posting date needs to be changed every month automatically. Is it possible?
    Please let me know your thoughts.
    Warm regards,
    Murukan Arunachalam

    Hi
    Please follow this process.
    Only specify fields that should be changed
    Select these fields by entering an X in the checkboxes
    Enter a U in the UPDATEFLAG field
    Always specify key fields when changing the data, including in the checkboxes
    The configuration is an exception here. If this needs to be changed, you need to complete it again fully.
    Maintain quantities and dates in the schedule line data.
    1. Minimum entry:
    You must enter the order number in the SALESDOCUMENT structure.
    You must always enter key fields for changes.
    You must always specify the update indicator in the ORDER_HEADER_INX.
    2. Commit control:
    The BAPI does not run a database Commit, which means that the application must trigger the Commit so that the changes are read to the database. To do this, use the BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT BAPI.

  • Currency Translation on Key Date for AR Aging

    Need your valuable advice!
    I have created an AR Aging query including both Open and Cleared Items based on 0FIAR_C03_Q0005 standard query. However the requirement is to do currency translation to Group Currency (USD) on Key Date. This Key date is defaulted to today but the user can change this to go back in time and pull all the ARs as of that back dated key date.
    I was planning to create a currency translation type on M rate based on the Key Date Variable in RSCUR. However I am confused on which variable to base this currency translation. I have several key date variables in my query such as 0P_KEYD2 (based on Posting Date), 0P_KEYDT (based on Net Due Date) and 0P_KEYD3 (based on Clearing Date).
    Which Key Date Variable should I use in 'Time Reference from Variable' field in RSCUR? Would it be one of the 3 mentioned above or something else and why?
    Appreciate your valuable advice.
    Thanks,
    Al

    Hi,
    Yes I do want to use the Key date from the variable screen and I am using the standard 0FIAR_C03_Q005 with slight modification including currency translation.
    As I mentioned in my original post I have several key date variables in this query such as 0P_KEYD2 (based on Posting Date), 0P_KEYDT (based on Net Due Date) and 0P_KEYD3 (based on Clearing Date). My question is which one should I use if I want to base it on the specific key date variable from the variable screen? I need the specific Key Date variable technical name.
    Thanks,
    Al

  • Is there a list of open items at key date per customer?

    Hello,
    In FBL5N you can get a list of open items for a customer at some specific date.
    I'm looking for a summarized list that would give me a list of sums  of open items for some customer per day, so I would see for example for one month what was the sum of open items for this customer on each day.
    Is there already some similar report in SAP?
    Thanks and best regards,
    David

    Hi,
    I still don't think we understand each other.
    If I run FBL5N I have option to select:
    - Items that are or were open at the key date are displayed on one date
    - All items posted on the posting date specified fromde date1 to date2.
    - Items that were cleared at the clearing date specified
    I would like a list of all items from option 1 (Items that are or were open at the key date are displayed on one date) so items that are or were STILL open and not yet cleared on one date, but not just for one date but for more days.
    If I use your suggestion I get what items opened or cleared on one day not how many items were still open on particular day.
    So a list of how many opened items were there at the day, and notjust items that were opened on that day but also all previous items that were not yet cleared at that day.

  • FBL5N - Invoice History by Open Items at Key Date

    Hi Experts.
    I have a doubt. Is it posible in FBL5N to get the invoice status information by " Open Items: Open at key date" ?
    e.g. if I change the baseline date or House Bank information in 08/25/2010 and I get the report using the date: 08/24/2010, how can I get the information in that date?
    In my case, the system always show the last change, and not the invoice situation in specific date.
    Thanks .

    Yes, The system dislays the data with the current details (After changes).
    For open item key date, it consider the posting date (Which can not be changes, once document is posted).

  • FBL5N - cleared document display by 'Open at key date'

    We are on ECC 6.0 and have recently upgraded from SP9 to SP15 in Financials. The users are saying that the report S_ALR_87012198 (which works the same way as FBL5N transaction) is now displaying the cleared documents differently.
    For example, we have the following documents:
    - invoice (RV) with posting date 11/01/09 and clearing date 11/20/09;
    - payment (DZ) with posting date = clearing date = 11/20/09.
    When the users run the transaction or report for Cleared Documents by using Clearing Date 11/20/09, both documents are displayed. However, when the users run the transaction for Cleared Documents by using 'Open at Key Date' 11/20/09 then only invoice (RV) is displayed.
    The documentation suggests that 'open at key date' should include items that are open before or on the 'key date'. Also our users are saying that it used to display both documents with 'Open at Key Date' before the service pack upgrade, but, unfortunately, we're unable to verify this.
    Could someone with lower version please verify how 'open at key date' option works for cleared documents? And is there any documentation that explains this?
    Thank you.

    > as the standard sap doesnt display the cleared and open items on "Open at key date"
    Thanks for your reply. Just to clarify - there are two 'Open at key date' fields in FBL5N. First field pertains to the 'Open documents' radio-button and second field - to the Cleared documents radio-button. When the users choose 'Cleared documents' and fill in the second 'Open at key date' field, they expect to see the items that are currently closed, but that were open on the specified key date. And SAP does, indeed, display them, just in a rather strange manner (it seems that DZ document is never "open", according to the screen's logic).
    It seems that we'll need to write to SAP for clarification, but I was hoping that someone could at least verify whether this, in fact, has anything to do with the support packs.

  • F-03: Need foreign curr translation date = document date, not posting date

    Hi All,
    We need to clear accounts through F-03. If we use a foreign currency (local curreny is PLN), the translation date is set as posting date/clearing date: SAP default behaviour. However, we want the translation date to be document date.
    We cannot change the clearing date in F-03 to document date because, if the document date is in previous period, the posting periods will be closed.
    Can this be accomplised through any standard functionality in T-Code (F-03, F-44)? I couldn't find any.
    Or do we need substitution/user exit for this?
    Thanks for your time!

    Hi This may help you,
    before that I have similar Problem you had in Bank master "Bank USxxxx doesn't exists" in Production,you can reply me from my Business card,in my profile,Thx,
    Note 574583 - MIRO: BADI for value date
    Summary
    Symptom
    In the logistics invoice verification, the system derives the value date (WWERT) from the posting date (BUDAT).However, the derivation should occur from the document date (BLDAT) or the posting date depending on the country key of the company code.

  • Do not want key date in the selection screen in query

    Hi,
    I have made a query for Customer Ageing. I do not want a selection screen- however, i still get a prompt for the 'Key Date'.
    Can someone suggest me a workaround?
    Many Thanks,
    Deepinder

    Hi Deepinder,
    Though Key date is not there in the filter area, it is being used in any restrcited key figures in your report. Check all the RKFs used in your report. Also the ones indirectly involved in calculations. May be you are calculating diff between key date and posting date and then used this difference for further calculations.
    Either you remove those RKFs if not needed, or in the property of your formula variable uncheck ready for input.
    Best Wishes,

  • How to use Key Date in query

    Imagine an invoice was created for a customer on the 1st of January 2008 for £1000
    On the 1st of Feb, he paid $300, owing $700
    On the 1st of Mar, he paid $450, owing $250
    On the 1st of Apr, he paid $250.
    If I run an AR report today the 10th of Aug, I would see he owes nothing. What I want to do is to run the report today based on the 2nd of March and see a debt of £250. I dont want to use the posting date in the selection criteria henceI think this is the case when you use a key date but I’m not sure how to use this in the query properties of BI7. What Characteristic do I need to specify as time dependant? Is there anything else I should consider?

    hi,
    Key Date setting is for the 'time dependent' master data.
    Lets say u have a Characteristic MATERIAL with a time dependent attribute MATERIAL GROUP as follows.
    MATERIAL FROM TO MATERIAL GROUP
    ABD 01/01/1995 12/31/2003 X
    ABD 01/01/2004 12/31/9999 Y
    Depending on what you have for the Keydate, the Material group is selected.
    If your key date is, ex, 06/12/2001 there material group is X. Or if key date is 02/15/2005, material group is Y.
    If you do not enter any value for keydate, system automatically assumes today' date.
    hope it helps..
