Posting / Due / Document date trouble

Hi there,
i have a little bit trouble with the dates. I already read a sheet about dates in SAP, but there are some misunderstandings. Here is the scenario, in which i have problems :
I book a incoming payment ( Posting date : 15.11.2008 | due date : 02.11.2008 | document date : 15.11.2008)
You find the payment in the general ledger with the correct dates. Now i find out, that i made some mistakes and i have to cancel the incoming payment. I cancel the incoming payment and i find a wrong due date in the in the general ledger (not 02.11.2008 -> 15.11.2008). Cause of booking date and cancel date is the same time, the systems do not ask for the date.
I do not understand the correct meaning of posting, due and document for incoming and outgoing payments.
I book the incoming payments by means of the bank statements. In my opinion the posting date is the time i book the incoming payment, the valuta date is the due date and the document date is the bank statement date. But i think i am wrong with my opinion, cause of my experience with the cancellation.
Pleas give me an advise, the general ledger is going wrong.
Thanks and regards

Hi Gordon,
hi community,
as your mentioned i was trying your last comment :
Depending on the date you receive the payment, you could use this date for all Posting / Due / Document date. Just keep the consistency for your date. Which ever you like, do not confuse yourself.
I changed the posting / document date of incoming payments to the date of receiving the payment. E.g.
Invoice date is 22.12.2008, Incoming Payment 13.01.2009, and today i got the bank statement and book it into SAP.
If i do so posting date = incoming payment date, the system warns "There is a document of this type with a later posting date". I was already searching the forum about this message and i am not sure if it is ok to ignore this message.
Thanks Steffen

Confusion about posting, due, doc date

Hello there,
I am very confused by dates used in SBO documents, could anyone please explain for me?
For example,
We receive an invoice from supplier, which is dated on 1st Oct. And then we input it into SAP on 5th Oct.
Based on the payment term, say 30 days, we should pay it by the 4th of Nov (1st Oct +30 days).
So ...
Which is posting date, due date and document date?
As I believe, posting date is 05/10 (as we posted it), due date is 04/11 (when the invoice is due), document date is 01/10 (as the date is on the document). Is that wrong?
If I am right, then
why is that most of reports don't show "document date" but only posting date and due date, such as BP balance, bank reconciliation.
Another example is Cash discount defination, it uses "Days After Posting Date" to calculate discount ...
Hopefully, I am not wrong ...

Hi Y,
here are some perinent excerpts from the EES:
Posting Date:
Date that determines in which u2018Posting Periodu2019 a document or journal entry is added to the database.
Due Date:
Date that determines when the transaction documented becomes financially significant.
Document Date:
Date that indicates when the shipment of goods takes place.
Example:
Our company sells fruit.
1.) We receive an order & take an apple out of our warehouse to ship to our customer. This date is the u2018Document Dateu2019.
2.) Our customer receives the apple & now accepts liability for the payment. This is the u2018Posting Dateu2019.
3.) We send the customer an invoice where we specify the date when payment for the apple is expected. This is the u2018Due Dateu2019.
I would recommend you speak with the partner, all this info is freely available to all partners.
All the best,
kerstin

Invoice posting - set document date as baseline date

Hi Expert!
I have issue regardig invoice posting.
When invoice posting transactions are done, the baseline date in the transaction is changing due to unknown reasons. The baseline date should not change and should be the document date. This in turn is having effects on the culculation of the due date for the payment terms.
In this case, i would like to make the document date as the default baseline date and remove the option of changing the baseline date. Please guide me on how to do it step by step.. Please also advise step by step how can i do that in transaction MIRO, FB60, FV60, FB65 and FV65..
Thanks..

prashant,
let say i have 3 company codes but i want to set the document date as the default for baseline date only for 2 company codes, how? If i tick on document date in the path u've given, will it be affected to all of company codes?
Where can i check for the payment terms against company code? Because payment terms in the path u've given seems like different than what is being using in the PO currently..
In the path there are 0001, 0002 and 0003 but payment terms which are being using in the PO are K160, K162....
Please advise..

Marking posting and document date mandatory in REM backflush.

Hi PP Gurus,
Here the requirement is to make Posting date and Document date in Transaction code MFBF **mandatory* without any default entry*. Right now system is populating Current date as Posting date as well as Document date. We checked user exit XMRM0001 but we don't know the functionalities of function modules available with this User exit. We also checked Screen variants using Transaction code SHD0 but it is not working, we think it is due to Posting date and Document date are already mandatory through program (might be).
What will be possible best solution?
Waiting for your prompt and kind replies.
Thanks & Regards,
Abu Arbab

Hi Siva,
The requirement is to remove Posting date and Document date. That is because in this scenario one day latter backflush is there, we mean to say today's production will be confirmed tomorrow.
The thing is we can achieve the same using Manufacturing Date field in MFBF screen and other confirmation screens too if SLED is active for that material in Material master record. But here in this case we are not using the this.
That's why I posted my requirement to forum.
We resolved the issue doing some changes in standard program for object R3TR-FUGR-BARM after getting access key from SAP.
Thanks & Regards,
Abu Arbab

Include Document Date & Doc Due Date in SAP B1 Aging Details Report

We are not able to view the actual document date and document due date from the Aging details report, it should be an essential information that should be show in the aging report. It make no sense that user still have to manually drill into each document to just read the document date/ due date for their aging analysis!!!
Try to imaging that how important this information to a business, for instance, to age the invoice which due for 1 - 30 days, the document date which due for 1 days is categorise into 1-30days aged, the documents due for 30days also categorise into 1-30days aged, however it bring the different meanings to user and user need these information to take the action decision! How useful for an aging report which could not equip user with these basic information to provide user with efficiency to make effective decision???
I think it is necessary to incorporate this level of details to the SAP B1 Aging Report.

Posting date,defferal date,document date

Gurus,
Please explain the difference of posting data and document date?
How due date of a document is calculated..?
when we are going to use the defferal date is used?
Regards,
Ramesh

Ramesh,
Please explain the difference of posting data and document date?
Posting date is the date on which you want the document to be posted.
Document date is the date on which you usually enter the document.
How due date of a document is calculated..?
From Payment Terms
when we are going to use the defferal date is used?
If you want Due date to be differed , you use deferral date. This overwrites the due date
Hope this helps

Posting date or document date

hi all,
for baseline date, i can base on posting date or document date.
may i know where in spro, we can define the baseline date to be based on posting date or document date to calculate the net due date depending on the days in payment term?
example
posting date 20-08-2008
document date 18-08-2008
payment term 10 days
so net due date is either 30-08 or 28-08 depending on posting or document date.
thanks

Hi,
When you are creating a payment term with Tcode OBB8, there a radio button option is available. Choose among the four options.
1) Posting Date
2) Document Date
3) Entry Date
$) No Default.
Hope this will fix ur issue.
Thanks,
Srinu

Difference between document date, posting date and created on date in FI

hi
Would like to know in which scenario can the document date be different from posting date in case of incoming payment which reamains unallocated for a while.
Please correct my understanding : created on date will be the date on which we enter/create in SAP which can be different in case we are uploading the documents from legacy sys.
But will it be different from posting and document date in case this document was created in SAP itself.
Thanks and regards,
Sarah.

Hi
Document date and creation date are same ie date on which document is created but the posting date is the date on which the document is posted lets say for example a document is created on friday 5:55 as the office gets closed at 6 and sat sun is off now the posting date will be date on monday or the date after monday when the document gets all the necessary approvals
so it can be posible that posting date and creation date are same for a document and vice versa is also true
thanks

GR posting date always greater than PO document date.

Dear SAP Gurus,
Am working on below requirement in a support project..
Need to ensure GR posting date always greater than in PO creation date. Only current month is open for GR posting and at present as a standard system allows to post GR any date in the current open period.
Is there any way, we can control the same via messages without implementing any exits or badis.
Appreciate immediate response.
Regards,
GM

there is no std sap for this
you can use user exit to ful fill ur requirement
in that u can write a code where is u can check all PO dated in GR must be eq to or less than GR posting and document date
hope this helps

Document date and posting date

now i am posting of business transaction from apl2009 to mar 2010 in last period i am posting of transaction i am giving document date 31.03.2010 posting date 05.04.2010 ledger a/c number 1234 amount value 1000 Rs.giving all the details i will post the document. This amount value is affected based on the document date or posting date can u tell me briefly explain.

Hello,
Document date is just for the purpose of record, or you can treat it as an invoice date.
SAP always check with posting date and see whether the periods are being opened for that particular date or not.
Therefore, Posting date is the main date when posting the entry. The entry will get posted on document date only. This is nothing do with the document date and both may differ.

Ravi

Recuring posting problem with dates

Dear experts
I would like to ask you how to deal with strange problem within recuring posting document
For recusring document I have set up for Run date 15, but when document was posted due to date was 5th not 15th. 5th is the same as posting date.
can you tell me what can causing this?
thanks a lot
KR
Peter

Hi,
The question is a bit unclear whether the recurring posting was created on 5th or 15th or you want that the date of the recurring posting could be changed.
You can refer to Note No. : 1114120 and check whether this is what you are looking for.
